How would anyone know to + look there for "Default Application" modification? *** (4) Click Default Applications I propose that we either (1) Make an icon for "Default Applications" in the main System Settings panel OR (2) do what you've done with "Startup Applications"; place it right there in the power button's menu. Note: Even if you make an icon especially for default applications, it can still open up to the same management window as before (see image attachment). This bug report is a usability issue. I hoping to make "Default Applications" easier to find for new users. - The fact that Default Applications doesn't work right now, is another bug that you should subscribe to as well (to emphasize its importance): + The fact that "Default Applications" doesn't work right now, is another bug that we should subscribe to as well (to emphasize its importance): https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/876897 ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 12.04 Package: gnome-control-center 1:3.4.0-0ubuntu7 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.2.0-23.36-generic 3.2.14 Uname: Linux 3.2.0-23-generic x86_64 NonfreeKernelModules: wl ApportVersion: 2.0.1-0ubuntu3 Architecture: amd64 Date: Sun Apr 15 00:26:57 2012 InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 10.10 "Maverick Meerkat" - Release amd64 (20101007) ProcEnviron: - TERM=xterm - PATH=(custom, no user) - LANG=en_US.UTF-8 - SHELL=/bin/bash + TERM=xterm + PATH=(custom, no user) + LANG=en_US.UTF-8 + SHELL=/bin/bash SourcePackage: gnome-control-center UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to precise on 2012-04-05 (9 days ago) usr_lib_gnome-control-center: - activity-log-manager-control-center 0.9.4-0ubuntu3 - deja-dup 22.0-0ubuntu2 - gnome-bluetooth 3.2.2-0ubuntu5 - indicator-datetime 0.3.94-0ubuntu1 + activity-log-manager-control-center 0.9.4-0ubuntu3 + deja-dup 22.0-0ubuntu2 + gnome-bluetooth 3.2.2-0ubuntu5 + indicator-datetime 0.3.94-0ubuntu1
