Furthermore, categories and tools are not really clear even in gnome-control-center (just have a look - System and Personal for example are really messy). In all cases, this needs more work.
I really believe the panel is where we should go: it's clearer to use when you don't know what tool you need to use. And with an option (in Alacarte?) advanced users could easily choose the current behavior - the panel is definetly slower to use when you already know which item you want to start. That's why using both at the same time also looks good to me. I agree this may not be optimal, but I can't see what may be better. -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
