Bluetooth analyzer can be hidden, as I believe it merely allows users to look at the bluetooth messages floating around. With that gone, the next big target is the Tracker search thing. I think we should replace the Search for Files at the bottom of the places menu with the Tracker Tool (yes, I realize this would create an Ubuntu specific patch. We can push it upstream or at least start a discussion about it upstream. Ideally we want a single search UI driving into either Beagle or Tracker, depending on the distro/user). I also vote we hide "Manage Print Jobs" or move it to the Administration menu. Corey -- ubuntu-desktop mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-desktop
