Bug description:
Binary package hint: unity
I'm on Natty Beta 2, with fresh updates. While the display of
uninstalled (available) applications may be interesting for some users
(newer ones maybe) and may be kept as a default behaviour, other users
who prefer a uncluttered dash display, showing only installed
applications, should be able to opt out easily. Disabling the
uninstalled applications display should be possible through the new
launcher settings box in system configuration or, at least, in an
advanced configuration tool, like gconf or dconf editors.
On this issue, see the critic in a recent Ars Technica review of Natty
Beta (http://arstechnica.com/open-source/news/2011/04/unity-
environment-in-good-shape-on-track-for-ubuntu-1104.ars):
"Although there is a lot to like in Unity, there are some aspects of
the Unity environment that still feel unpolished and poorly thought
out. [...] The lists of random packages from the repositories, which
are presented as applications that are available for installation in
the launcher, are distracting and largely superfluous."
-----------------------------------------------------
Desired Solution:
- Add "Sources" filter to the search filters of every Lens as detailed
in the Dash spec (see the sections titled "Initial Scopes")
