Title: Should Metacity really show up as a program in Software Center instead of a system package? Status in “metacity” package in Ubuntu: New Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: software-center 2.0.5, Ubuntu 10.04 software-center 4.0.4, Ubuntu 11.04 1. Navigate to "Installed Software". 2. Scroll down to M. What happens: Metacity shows up by default. Any user can be looking through the installed software and think, "Metacity? GTK window manager? What's that? I don't need that!" and remove it, which I'm sure would cause some serious problems if that user decided to turn off visual effects or never had them on in the first place. Also, Metacity seems more like a system package than a program. What should happen: Metacity should be hidden by default, not appearing unless you choose "Show ____ technical items". This can be implemented by removing Metacity's desktop file. [This bug report also previously mentioned capitalization of "Get Software" and "Installed Software", which is mostly obviated by the 5.0 redesign.] To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/metacity/+bug/597227/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
