>In my opinion this option shouldn't exist now, considering that global
menus are the future

That's  a debatable opinion but you are absolutely right that this item 
shouldn't exist if a global menu is detected

I've marked this as a duplicate, this is the oldest bug but the
description and title here is misleading and I can't edit the latter.

Also to consider is bug 767941 which adds  "Edit > Profile Preferences >
General > Show menubar by default" to the items that need to be removed
if a menuar is detected.

[Bug 790687] [NEW] nautilus desktop: Unity menu and alt key navigation

2011-05-31 Thread Ed Lin
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: nautilus

Under Unity if you press the alt key the global menu becomes focused and
you can select menu items via alt+f (File), alt+e (Edit) and so on. This
works with all applications, except when the desktop is focused. For
consistency reasons and keyboard navigation nautilus desktop too needs
an alt-key navigateable menu.

[Bug 771470] [NEW] open/save dialog doesn't remember last folder across sessions

2011-04-26 Thread Ed Lin
Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gedit

Open a new gedit instance, the open and save dialogs both default to the
home folder. Now open or save a document in another folder, for example
~/Documents. From then on all further invocations of a dialog within
this window will default to ~/Documents.

Now open a new gedit window or close and reopen gedit or even just drag
a new tab out of window #1 to create a new window. The dialogs in window
#2 again default to the home folder instead of remembering the folder
you last used to open or save a document.

I very much doubt that is intended and by design but even if it was
especially in case of the drag tab out of window it really makes no
sense.

I don't think upstream is very interested in this kind of usability bug.
There are a few related bugs e.g.
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gedit/+bug/86989 unresolved
for years. Gedit 2.9 in GNOME 3 is still affected.

In case you came here looking for a solution, some kind of workaround:
alt+1 switches to Documents, alt+D to documents, alt+f focuses the search bar...
seems to work in all gtk file dialogs.

I've added Compiz to this bug as per the discussion here:
https://lists.launchpad.net/ayatana/msg05613.html

>I know about the window placement plugin in CCSM but there are two problems:

Please see the mailing list for further problems and ideas surrounding
the issue.

[Bug 437733] Re: set has-frame of option comboboxes to false

2011-05-11 Thread Ed Lin
So this bug has been sitting there fro 5 months now still listed as UNCONFIRMED 
with no comment at all.
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=626737

Why do we need to wait for upstream? Sooner or later we need to make
some changes anyway (https://lists.launchpad.net/ayatana/msg04636.html)

 This isn't really a question of looks or opinion. It's an interface
bug, a highly annoying one if I may add especially now that I'm
constantly switching between Unity and other sessions. Maybe there is a
nicer looking solution though.

Too bad I can't edit...

LightDM will replace GMD in Oneiric so that is that. GNOME 3 has a new
layout that isn't affected by this bug. Case closed. Well played
upstream!
