[Bug 575877] Re: gnome-keyring mysteriously asks for keyring password on startup
This bug shouldn't be marked as low importance. This is an usability issue that impacts the very first impression of ubuntu. As an example, I installed Ubuntu in a netbook for my parents. Because they value simplicity, I made the netbook login automatically, opening the web browser and skype immediately. It worked perfectly until I upgraded to Lucid. It now asks for a password to access the wireless network. Advanced users may think this is low priority; but for the regular users this is an usability killer. Please give us a workaround -- or mark this as higher priority.

That gives the groups security > that their decisions are respected. I agree with the posters above. Even under pressure, Mark shows that is a true leader. However, I still hope he will discuss the issue with the design team and revert the change. -- [light-theme] please revert the order of the window controls back to "menu:minimize,maximize,close" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/532633 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to metacity in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

That is a good reason to keep the close button out of the way. I really love Ubuntu, and want it to succeed. -- [light-theme] please revert the order of the window controls back to "menu:minimize,maximize,close" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/532633 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to metacity in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

There's no sense moving the min/max/close buttons to the left, if the scroll bars are still in the right. Perhaps the UI designers were trying to open space for the notifications? A better solution would be to display the notifications in the bottom right. -- [light-theme] please revert the order of the window controls back to "menu:minimize,maximize,close" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/532633 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to metacity in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

If there are any reasons for the change, this should be tested separately -- like Gnome Shell, which I love. The worst thing to do, in my opinion, is to do a disrupting change in a LTS. -- [light-theme] please revert the order of the window controls back to "menu:minimize,maximize,close" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/532633 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to metacity in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

Mark, I completely understand and agree with your position -- you are the benevolent dictator for life, and Ubuntu is not a democracy. HOWEVER, I also understand and agree with most of the critics who say that this particular change in the user interface is bad. People gave different reasons for why the change is bad. I'll give you another reason: touchscreens. In the next couple of years we're going to see more and more touchscreen devices. As you may know, our fingers are not as precise as mouse pointers. If you put the close/minimize/maximize buttons on the left side, people *will* click on these buttons accidently, when they try to open the Applications menu. And that mistake, repeated over and over, will be infuriating. If you agree that we are going to see more and more touchscreen devices, I hope you'll also agree that the close/minimize/maximize buttons should stay out of the way. You don't have to listen to our opinions, but please consider what is best for the project in terms of usability. -- [light-theme] please revert the order of the window controls back to "menu:minimize,maximize,close" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/532633 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to metacity in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
