> This will probably preclude users from using both unity & gnome-shell in the same install??
no, it's the opposite, it means each desktop can have its version which reduces conflicts (they are co-installable) > if when you fork g-s-d to u-s-d it creates more significant issues in a Gs session then maybe that should be addressed in some manner what do you mean? the fork is create to reduce issues in Gs session (e.g allow to drop unity hacks under GNOME and let GNOME use a more recent version than the one that is adapted to Unity) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to webaccounts-browser-extension in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1257505 Title: Create Unity Control Center so can remain on old GNOME Control Center version Status in “activity-log-manager” package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in “chromium-browser” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “deja-dup” package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in “empathy” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in “eog” package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in “gnome-color-manager” package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in “gnome-control-center-signon” package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in “gnome-media” package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in “gthumb” package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in “indicator-bluetooth” package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in “indicator-power” package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in “indicator-session” package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in “indicator-sound” package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in “landscape-client” package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in “language-selector” package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in “software-properties” package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in “ubuntuone-control-panel” package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in “unity-control-center” package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in “webaccounts-browser-extension” package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: Ubuntu/Unity uses GNOME Control Center as the application to configure the Unity session. We've made a lot of changes appropriate for Ubuntu and Unity (61 patches) which makes it hard to maintain and creates a conflict for Ubuntu GNOME to use the control center. Unity 7 will be replaced by Unity 8 in the future which has a new settings interface. So we can continue to remain on the current version of GNOME Control Center but allow Ubuntu GNOME to continue to update we will create a new project lp:unity-control-center which is a copy of GNOME Control Center 3.6 but with appropriate renaming so both can be installed. A number of packages that refer to gnome-control-center need to be updated to refer to unity-control-center (see bug tasks).
