[Ayatana] 'Control Center' should be in 'Launcher' not in 'Session Menu'
Just got the news from the following link: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/03/ubuntu-natty-adds-control-centre-entry-to-session-menu/ My opinion is - 'Control Center' should be in 'Launcher' not in 'Session Menu'. Actually, Session menu has nothing in common with Control Center! The Control Center should be in launcher. So that people can easily get access to the control center. I think it'll be very difficult to find out for the users that to change the preferences of his desktop he has to go to the Session Menu. Also by placing it on the launcher, it actually saves one click... :) What do you think? -- M.

I think having a link in either the me menu or the session menu is a good idea for consistency with Gnome 3. The new Control Center is pretty nice but unfortunately it doesn't look like we'll get it in 11.04 except through the Gnome 3 PPA. My preference is for it to be in the me menu or at least moved above Log Out in the session menu.
