** Description changed:
- Binary package hint: software-center
+ software-center 2.0.5, Ubuntu 10.04
+ software-center 4.0.4, Ubuntu 11.04
- Since Metacity shows up as a program, it also shows up in the "Installed
- Software" list, so any user can be looking through the installed
- software and think, "Metacity? GTK window manager? What's that? I don't
- need that!" and remove it, which I'm sure would cause some serious
- problems if that user decided to turn off visual effects or never had
- them on in the first place. Also, Metacity seems more like a system
- package than a program.
+ 1. Navigate to "Installed Software".
+ 2. Scroll down to M.
- (And by the way, I don't think every word needs to be capitalized in
- some parts of Software Center, like "Get Software" and "Installed
- Software.")
+ What happens: Metacity shows up by default.
- ProblemType: Bug

+ Any user can be looking through the installed software and think,
+ "Metacity? GTK window manager? What's that? I don't need that!" and
+ remove it, which I'm sure would cause some serious problems if that user
+ decided to turn off visual effects or never had them on in the first
+ place. Also, Metacity seems more like a system package than a program.
+
+ What should happen: Metacity should be hidden by default, not appearing
+ unless you choose "Show ____ technical items".
+
+ This can be implemented by removing Metacity's desktop file.
+
+ [This bug report also previously mentioned capitalization of "Get
+ Software" and "Installed Software", which is mostly obviated by the 5.0
+ redesign.]
