I think putting it either in the Dash or in the MeMenu makes the most sense. I don't associate shutdown with settings at all, and almost every time I go to shut down I still hit "System Settings" instead of "Shut Down". On Tue, 2011-04-19 at 07:31 +0330, Mehdi Fattahi wrote: > Maybe they should ch

Maybe they should change the icon for the menu if it is to include System Settings. Hit Power button to go to System Settings? That's ridiculous! On Mon, Apr 18, 2011 at 10:25 PM, Luke Benstead wrote: > On 18 April 2011 19:08, Ryan Prior wrote: > > On Mon, Apr 18, 2011 at 11:53 AM, Luke Benstea

The documentation team is wondering what to call the power-looking icon in the top right of the screen. Someone started a thread to discuss the matter using the subject, "The top right thing." I doubt the Ayatana folks would like us to refer to it as "the top right thing." Is there a preferred ter
