Public bug reported:

Using the standard Ubuntu 16.10 installation, and installing GNOME in
parallel, there is a confusing problem for users continuing to use
Unity.

In Unity, searching for *setting* – or for Germans *Eins* –, and hitting
enter, or selecting the first match, *gnome-control-center* instead of
*unity-control-center* is started. They are more or less similar, but
the monitor configuration of *gnome-control-center* does not work (and
is also labeled differently), leaving people confused and frustrated.

It’d be great, if *gnome-control-center* wouldn’t show up “in the UI of
Unity”, and could only be started from the command line. Maybe that’s
possible using the desktop files.

On the other hand, jbicha in #ubuntu-gn...@irc.freenode.net commented:
