Thanks Jeremy, Ccing design but some comments:

> When System Settings is in overview mode, showing all of the available
panels, the All Settings button is present but nothing happens when it's
clicked. A button that does nothing when clicked is frustrating and it's
a very prominent button.

That's not so much a button that a location indication, when you open
nautilus the breadcum displaying the current dir as well...

> I'd like to propose that we hide the All Settings button when in the
overview mode, which is what upstream does.

That would be weird and not how i.e nautilus use its breadcumb,
consistency is good


> Another useless button is the current panel name. As in the Appearance button 
> in All Settings>Appearance. This might be improved by showing the button 
> pressed in like Nautilus does.

Well again, it's not so much of a button than an indication of where you
stand ;-) The button style and ui needs to be improved, we landed the
change in a rough way before ff

> The more I think about it, the more I think GNOME 3.4's symbolic view
grid button does pretty good at conveying the same information in far
less space, especially as there are only 2 levels in the hierarchy (the
overview and the individual panel view).

Well I think one of the issue with the upstream way is that if you open
directly a capplet (i.e the background one) and click on the 'all
settings' (or now grid icon) which brings you back to the g-c-c grid
it's hard to figure what happened and how to go back where you were, the
breadcumb gives you logical representation of where you stand which is
much easier to understand

ie. having [ system settings ] [ background ] with the first button
selected let you easily go back to background or figure what happens,
you just went down one level
