So your suggestion is to still have new panels? The purpose of no external API is not to make it more difficult, but to ensure: - control center does everything it should - ensure functionality is available across distributions - relevant options appear in the place the design team thinks it should be; not in yet another panel So focus should be on ensuring that options are shown in the right places and that whatever functionality is needed, is added in control-center in a way it will work for all distributions. Having another panel does not provide a good user interface. As explained, no 'java options'. Even for firewall, if it makes sense, it should be shown where the designers think it makes sense (e.g. some system/network thing), not where it is technically easiest. It seems there is an assumption that no external API is meant to force; it is not. The purpose is to ensure that the control center options follows a logic (designed) structure; not have options all over the place. If you want additional option in Ubuntu, address this to either the Ubuntu design team or the GNOME design team. Then the options should be added whereever the design teams thinks it should go. -- Regards, Olav _______________________________________________ desktop-devel-list mailing list desktop-devel-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop-devel-list
