Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-system-tools

If I open services-admin I can read, for example, that apport is started but 
this is not true as /etc/default/apport has the entry enabled=0. I think this 
is misleading for a "normal" user as he doesn't know that, for every service, 
to check if it has started or not, he has to go to cli and check /etc/default 
files for enabled entries.
I think services-admin should also read enable entry for a certain service (not 
only rc.d) and, if necessary, it should modify it if the user want to start the 
service.
For me it's a usability bug.

Tested with Ubuntu Hardy and gnome-system-tool 2.22.0-0ubuntu9s
