[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 129041] Re: xterm icon available by default
This really has nothing to do with xterm, except that the fix needs to be in the xterm package. Ubuntu is meant to be easy to understand, and it's really important that new users can explore all of the applications they are getting out of the box without running into a brick wall or feeling lost. That is getting difficult with the signal to noise ratio in the applications menu: scattered alongside the applications we want people to discover and enjoy we have every settings panel, a bunch of different admin tools, xdiagnose, and three terminal applications: gnome-terminal, xterm and uxterm. This isn't about xterm being bad: it's about xterm and ubuntu-desktop being an odd fit. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xterm in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/129041 Title: xterm icon available by default To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/129041/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 994048] [NEW] xdiagnose adds an unusual item to the dash / applications menu
Public bug reported: xdiagnose is installed by default in Ubuntu 12.04, and its .desktop file adds it to the Accessories section of any applications menu. This is not an application we can expect a user to open out of interest, figure out and happily use: it has a focus on Bugs and Workarounds, and all of its checkboxes do serious things. Instead, it clutters the dash and makes Ubuntu harder to explore. I'm assuming xdiagnose is a dependency of ubuntu-desktop for a good reason, so this is just a request to please add NoDisplay=true to xdiagnose.desktop. This will hide it from the dash, and people will be able to open it directly by using the xdiagnose command. ** Affects: xdiagnose (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xdiagnose in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/994048 Title: xdiagnose adds an unusual item to the dash / applications menu To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xdiagnose/+bug/994048/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 710762] Re: Middle mouse button no longer works
Sojourner, did you find a changelog that relates to this bug? I was just looking and I couldn't find anything that sounded related within Ubuntu, though it could be something upstream. (I haven't looked there yet). If you still have that change and version number handy, I'm sure it would help to figure out what is wrong and resolve it :) ** Description changed: Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-input-evdev Since the update of xserver-xorg-input-evdev version 1:2.6.0-1ubuntu1, - the middle mouse button no longer functions in Natty.

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 710762] Re: Middle mouse button no longer works
Okay, this was indeed an intentional upstream change in xf86-input- evdev. The changelog happens to carry some reasoning, too: commit 21a2ac818e75ef918d320ce1e88b6263e68e598d Author: Peter Hutterer peter.hutte...@who-t.net Date: Fri May 28 09:47:17 2010 +1000 Disable middle mouse button emulation by default. The AUTO feature was the default, MB emulation was on until a middle mouse button was pressed. MB emulation however results in a delay of the first press, causing minor annoyances to the users and being generally confusing when the behaviour before a button press is different to after a button pres. Disable the feature by default instead. There's not a lot of two-button mice around anymore though and the inability to detect two-button mice makes for non-deterministic detection of when the emulation should be on. Middle button emulation can be enabled with a configuration snippet: Section InputClass Identifier middle button emulation MatchIsPointer on Option Emulate3Buttons on EndSection So, this is a little different than I thought. (And it even teaches me something I didn't know: it's hard to detect if a mouse only has two buttons!). We should keep an eye on what other distros do with this change. If Fedora, Debian, etc. choose to revert it, we should probably consider doing the same. Otherwise, it's effectively the new standard. Another thing to keep in mind is two-button mouses / middle clicking in general / left+right to middle click are kind of power-user features, so we can expect power-users to be happy configuring these things. I think this should definitely go in the release notes :) ** Also affects: ubuntu-release-notes Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-input-evdev in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/710762 Title: Middle mouse button no longer works ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
