Hi,
I stumbled upon this conversation after writing up a similar proposal, which

Hi Olav, thanks for the tip. I really only took part here because it was an
ongoing discussion, and have been talking to the design team on recent days.
I'll keep it in mind, though.

Indeed. I have contacted the author and he needs some manpower making

I would love it if a good number of gnome apps had an optional

Hi,
In Edgy, and having beagle installed, going to places → search for files
would open a beagle search. This doesn't seem to be the case anymore, as
I'm getting gnome-search-tool instead.
Is this how it's supposed to be, or are we talking about a bug here?
Thanks,

Hi,
I've noticed that when I power on my laptop the session splash after the
GDM lasts only some 3 or 4 seconds, but even after that the desktop
background takes another 3 or 4 to appear, them 5 to get the panel and
another 5 or so to get the panel applets and be able to actually use the
I guess the best place to talk about this would be gnomecc-list (added
to cc). I believe nobody ever talked about this tool before. It's
probably too new for such a discussion to have happened.
Truth be told, the tool is completely useless at the moment since it
operates in read-only mode. But
I read in http://www.gnome.org/start/2.18/notes/C/ that seahorse is a
part of Gnome now. Since it can handle keyrings, are there plans to have
it replace gnome-keyring-manager? Will they coexist, or is seahorse just
not gonna be installed by default?
More or less the same happens with a new
Are you proposing to integrate the functionality of deskbar into the
main menu applet, and thus replace deskbar as well? That's what I'm
getting from your comments, anyway.
Since this part of the discussion seems to just have died away without
arguments, is there a suitable place for me to
http://bugzilla.gnome.org and file a bug under gnome-main-menu
Thanks jaap, I filed it here:

Just in case any of the presents want to chip in.

Thats because that was the intended behaviour. However, maybe we're
sending the wrong cups commands for this (page-set is even or odd,
and number-up for the more pages per sheet).
Where should I file a bug so in time this issue can be fixed?

It might be useful to explain more than that.
What way were you trying to use it? Why did it not fit how you wanted to use
it?
etc?
I know the question was not meant for me, but I find it unusable without
a recently used apps menu, a places menu that follows nautilus'
bookmarks or deskbar
it already does all that, except the places part
Might it be bacause of my distribution, then?
BTW are you saying that gnome-main-menu has deskbar integration? If I
open it and type gai, will it offer me to open Gaim, and then place it
under the recently used apps?
it does not integrate deskbar and nor should it - the search should only
be for applications (IE .desktop files)
I could do with just application search, but as far as I know it doesn't
even do that.
As for beagle search, I never thought it was that all that useful. After
all the search tool
it does that but using beagle, if available, AFAIK.
Well, that's not what I meant then.
Accessing an app through the more apps menu is painfully slow and
intrusive if you know what specific app you want to run, but it happens
not to be on your favourites menu.
The search bar could easily solve
Well IMO, the menu is far launching apps so it makes sense to limit
search there to apps
I'm not discussing this, in fact I agree - I'm just saying that
gnome-main-menu DOES NOT do it at the moment and it should.
Without that feature, it's less useful to me than the current menu and
therefore
I've always thought that notification area icons for removable drives
was the way to go. These could be managed by gnome-volume-manager.
People typically object to this if they have permanent usb storage
devices connected. To this end there should probably be a way to
disable icons for given
Since version 0.5.1, Tomboy is offering a way to pin important notes by

I think that implementing a similar solution on gnome-panel's places
menu would be rather useful. Here you can
While otherwise a decent idea, this makes the menuitem have two
different actions without clearly stating so. There is visually
nothing that will tell the user that the eject button is any different
from the icon before the text. Making it look like a button would sort

Personally, I think the last thing we need is more context menus on
menu items... it's probably about the most (unintentionally)
undiscoverable feature on our entire desktop.
I might agree, but... how's having an undiscoverable feature worse than
not having the feature at all?
I'm open to
an undiscoverable feature is like having no feature at all: only the
people knowing that there's such a feature will be able to use it, and
we'd have a whole slew of people bitching and moaning like we did when
we had the location dialog opened by Ctrl+L in the FileChooser. sure,

I'm no linux guru, but there is supposed to be a UNIX motto that says:
do one thing and do it right. Most gnome apps follow this philosophy,
AFAIK, but evolution does lots of different things. It handles mail,
contacts, calendars, tasks and even notes.
There are several projects out there like
If you insert a blank CD and click on it in the places menu, it takes
you to the CD creator. However, right over it there is another menu
entry (CD creator) which takes you to the same place. So basically we
have two items, right next to each other, doing the same thing.
Isn't this redundant?
I
It's useful if you want to burn some stuff, but aren't sure if it will
fit on a CDR or not. You can add stuff it the CD creator, and at the end
look at the size to determine whether you need a CDR or a DVDR to put it
on. It's also needed if you want to create a CD image without needing a
CDR
Also, if you insert recorded CD-RW it will be mounted. To erase it, you
have to first run CD Creator, click Burn and when CD creator asks for CD
insert to recorded CD-RW. CD Creator then asks if you want do erase RW
disk.
Cool, I hadn't figured out that trick.
Okay, many people (me amongst them) are bugged by having to enter their
password after logging in in order to connect to their wireless plugin.
I haven't tried it, but pam-keyring-tool is supposed to fix the issue.
I even found a deb package here
I'll file bugs. :)
Where can we file bugs BTW? I'd like to make some suggestions but I can't find any launchpad page for gnome-main-menu.

But...Vincent did send an email to r-t a few days ago suggesting we
extend the deadline due to not having sent out a request/reminder to
propose modules. We're discussing that currently, but be aware that
your proposal may need to be delayed until Gnome 2.20.

I am a translator, and I have been looking for a GNOME translation memory application but only found Gtranslator (http://freshmeat.net/projects/gtranslator/) which can only be used to translate .po files but not any other kind of files.

One problem is using the word eject as a synonym for unmount (that
the user happens to recognize more easily). With eject you expect the

Why don't we just put an icon in the tray always, to unmount media, stop

E.g., similar to how the Nautilus CD/DVD Creator already has a Write

that represent disks.
At this point, I'd go as far as suggesting a sub menu for each volume,
with a View item, an eventual Copy item (for CD drives)
