[Bug 597227] Re: Should Metacity really show up as a program in Software Center instead of a system package?
** 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 - DistroRelease: Ubuntu 10.04 - Package: software-center 2.0.5 - ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 2.6.32-21.32-generic 2.6.32.11+drm33.2 - Uname: Linux 2.6.32-21-generic i686 - NonfreeKernelModules: nvidia - Architecture: i386 - Date: Tue Jun 22 07:45:05 2010 - InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS Lucid Lynx - Release i386 (20100429) - PackageArchitecture: all - ProcEnviron: - LANG=en_US.utf8 - SHELL=/bin/bash - SourcePackage: software-center + 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.] ** Tags removed: i386 lucid ** Tags added: metadata ** Changed in: metacity (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete = New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to metacity in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/597227 Title: Should Metacity really show up as a program in Software Center instead of a system package?
