I doubt anybody is really addicted enough to the two menus that they need a switch between the two systems. One system should be made good enough for both user demographics - a switch does not fix the bug. As a user of a sometimes multi-account bearing system, I'd like a system where the first things presented are user settings and that all system settings are under an advanced location within. Such UI elements should have some clear visual annotation (and a screenreadable annotation) so I don't go in there just to find that there are no settings for my user account - otherwise it would be really annoying. For example, a user-setting that configures which of my directories are shared via nfs or cifs would have a route through to the system setting that configures which parameters a suid samba/nfs-server configuration program would allow the various users to set. Something on which the users could select items from a list would have an add-new-item button (for users in the admin group) that uses gksudo to run the next gui element if configuring new items is restricted. -- Tristan Wibberley Any opinion expressed is mine (or else I'm playing devils advocate for the sake of a good argument).
