Hoping that enough people read this, I will write a few more words here: I started a discussion on the Ubuntu Power Users mailing list (Ubuntu- power-us...@lists.ubuntu.com) and I want to invite you all to join the list and participate in the conversation/discussion.
I hope there is a chance that at least some people of Canonical will listen to the results of the discussion in the group. Especially I tried -- or am trying-- to convince the users there that we need a tool for a better configuration of the system (especially Dash and Launcher). And we need it to be installed by default in the normal standard installation of Ubuntu. A good start would be, for instance, to have Marco Biscaro's, patch integrated in Ubuntu and make it a configurable option. So the default behaviour would still be according the design decisions but one still can change the behaviour via the configuration tool. Another things would be to trip Ubuntu Tweak down to some basic feature and add to this trimmed down version those configuration options which, for some moronic reason, are currently only accessible via CCSM. I think that especially these Unity options , which are integrated in CCSM, should be part of the Unity/Ubuntu version of the normal Gnome Control Panel. There is not sense to make a user download CCSM just to change some basic behaviour of the system. Additionally the main problem is that CCSM is dangerous: I do not know how often exactly I broke Unity because I changed something in CCSM. So that is not good and we need to do something against it. I hope that at least Jono Bacon will live up to his functions as a community manager and answer to those complaints on the Ubuntu Power Users List. Maybe we can work together so that they will at last listen to our complaints. So again, please join the list and perhaps we will find a way to improve Unity. And perhaps we will manage to Unity those two groups of users which currently are separated by the policies of the Canonical developers. I want an Ubuntu with Unity. And I want this Ubuntu to be a good choice for normal users and for advanced users. It must be possible to get to this point somehow. Perhaps they will listen to us, if we all together join this mailing list and start to come up with ideas via the normal way. I hope that Jono will answer to the complaints on the list within the next day. Otherwise I would be very disappointed by Canonical's efforts to listen to its community and communicate with its community. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/733349 Title: Minimize Application's Windows upon clicking it's Launcher Icon To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/733349/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
