There was also a proposal from mpt to make software-properties a panel inside [gnome|unity-]control-center instead of a stand-alonish app. My secret plan to achieve that was going to use gtk plug/socket to embed software-properties written in python into otherwise compiled ".so" control-center panel plugin. This is the root pagadim behind mockups in https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareUpdateHandling#settings. That way all aps related to updates can launch/open control-center to control such a core part of the operating system. -- Regards, Dimitri. -- 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
