[Unity-design] Apport needs to be disabled by default, or to be "silent"

2012-07-04 Thread Brandon Watkins

I think the proposal to swap Nautilus with Marlin should at least be made part of the agenda for discussion/consideration at UDS-R. Some of the things GNOME is removing from nautilus is probably good. When it officially lands, it may not be that bad. But regardless, it never hurts to discuss t
