I'm starting to work on all the missing pieces in the region panel soon, so will keep you posted of the progress of the implementation Cool. I've completed a draft design now: https://live.gnome.org/Design/SystemSettings/RegionAndLanguage#inline-installation * software sources: also maybe as part of the System Info panel, which does updates? The System Info panel shouldn't be in System Settings in the first place. It isn't settings. It is settings. It allows you to force fallback for the session if you don't have a supported video card, it allows you to select default applications and now, in 3.3, has the Removable Media panel included, so it really does allow to set things. I was referring to the System Info panel in Ubuntu 11.10, which shows only the Ubuntu version and basic hardware specs. It's completely misnamed though. I guess just 'System' or something similar should be enough ... It might be possible to find a name that explicably covers default applications + removable media (Applications, perhaps?), but I doubt it. I think the reason Windows has an AutoPlay panel and OS X has a CDs DVDs panel, separate from file handler settings, is probably that people wouldn't find them otherwise. And it's necessarily even less likely that there is any name that could be given to a panel containing OS version info, hardware specs, session fallback, default applications, *and* removable media, that would make all of them easily findable. - -- mpt -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk6UbgIACgkQ6PUxNfU6ecp7IgCdGptxT/38nUso9XrfZvAlJh2r T8QAn2hmjXDqbspftO8g59EWqJxlg0W8 =M/9D -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- ubuntu-desktop mailing list ubuntu-desktop@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-desktop

It's been reported many times, but someone should come up with a well-though design and arguments to convince the designers. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=647442 -- ubuntu-desktop mailing list ubuntu-desktop@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-desktop

For Oneiric we went the easy route of adding a way to run external applications for the stuff we wanted in the control center. But this looks quite bad (some panels are embedded, others run a separate application), so for P I'd like us to do a cleanup and avoid as much as possible having external windows. So, here's a list of what we have: * jockey: this could perfectly fit in the System Info panel I wouldn't call it a perfect fit, but that's one possibility. Another is Ubuntu Software Center http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/28205/, and another is Update Manager. * language-selector: we just need ability to install languages and input method support in the region panel to completely remove this I'm working on the design for that one. https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/desktop-o-clean-up-language-support * software sources: also maybe as part of the System Info panel, which does updates? The System Info panel shouldn't be in System Settings in the first place. It isn't settings. the tricky one is Ubuntu One, so I guess we'd have to leave it as it is, or write a panel that just embeds the u1-panel window? ... It should embed into the System Settings window on Ubuntu, and into the Control Panel window on Windows. - -- mpt -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk6QfdsACgkQ6PUxNfU6ecoEzQCg01g3KoGPYpX1ofRh9EHGNuLk IKMAnRQEjhI0ttGNXlhAoW2Wr5zHj+YU =bt8p -END PGP SIGNATURE- -- ubuntu-desktop mailing list ubuntu-desktop@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-desktop
