Bug description:
The mockups of the Ubuntu-custom breadcrumb navigation for the "System
Settings" window
<https://docs.google.com/a/canonical.com/document/d/1ILTJDiDCd25Npt2AmgzF8aOnZZECxTfM0hvsbWT2BxA/edit?ndplr=1&pli=1#heading=h.kijjueu5tjdf>
show that the title of the window remains "System Settings" regardless
of which panel you are on.
However, because of the change made in bug 801784, the window title
changes to the name of the currently open panel.
This is ugly in three ways:
1. It means the title of the current panel is displayed twice,
millimeters apart -- first in the window title, and then in the button
just below it.
2. It causes the launcher to flash distractingly as you navigate.
(Should the Firefox launcher tile show the icon of the page you're
visiting, instead of the Firefox logo? No, because that would be
annoying. Same thing here.)
3. Least importantly, clicking the "All Settings" button illogically
changes things that are both above and below it. (Web browsers also
have this problem, but they have nowhere else to compactly show the
<title>. We do.)
Ways this bug could be fixed:
a. Make the window title always "System Settings", and revert the
launcher change. This would fix (1) (2) and (3).
b. Make the window title always "System Settings", leaving the
launcher as it is. This would fix (1) and (3), but not (2), and would
introduce a new minor problem: the launcher and the window wouldn't
match.
c. Use Back and Forward buttons instead of the breadcrumbs, and revert
the launcher change. This would fix (1) (2) and (3). (I explained this
further in <https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=643322#c9>.)
