the issue has been discussed today at the desktop team meeting again, some of the options which are been listed:
* do nothing on upgrade and describe the change in the upgrade notes * change the correspondance between applets and namespace on upgrade (ie migrates the session applet to the new fast user switching applet automatically), but that has side effects: - that will break configuration for users which are using a fast user switch applet and no session applet for example - users will not be able to use the upstream session applet if they want - that will create use configurations which are ubuntu specific (some people run jhbuild session using the same profile for example) * dynamically change the user configuration on upgrade or first login, that's something we didn't do until now and we have no good framework for it, it would require to writte a tool now and get it right None of those is really good. I would not rush in changing namespaces or users configuration in upgrade. Does anybody else has a better idea about that? -- Has not yet replaced the existing log out applet https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/274146 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
