[Bug 844081] Re: Unity Greeter - Background of the Unity Greeter should reflect the background chosen by the user that is currently selected
I'd be concerned that a user might choose an inappropriate desktop wallpaper and I'd have no way to prevent it from being displayed to everyone who uses the computer, so as admin I'd want to be able to switch off the feature of showing the selected user's wallpaper on LightDM and instead only show the same wallpaper for everybody. What people put as the wallpaper on their own account is up to them, but the login screen is a shared space. Aside from that, as someone who isn't admin I might not want to show everyone my wallpaper. For instance, I use a wallpaper of Humble Indie Bundle 5 which seems childish for my age. I might not want others to see it when they come to use the computer. Now that I've read some of the comment section I know I can hide it with file permissions, but I wouldn't have thought of that on my own even after using Ubuntu for over 6 years. It makes much more sense in terms of organization, intuitiveness, and respecting user's privacy (which I thought Ubuntu was trying to champion) to make it a switch in the Appearance panel: [X] Show my wallpaper on the log in screen Which behind the scenes just changes the permissions on the file as described by others.

[Bug 682788] Re: Improve Unity menus
The App Menu should be in the Title Bar. When the window is maximized the Title Bar is merged with the panel so the App Menu would naturally be merged with the panel. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to metacity in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/682788 Title: Improve Unity menus To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/682788/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 382703] Re: Home Folder has 3 different names
Right now Nautilus seems to be using my user-name for ~, while the Places menu uses Home Folder. I think for consistency's sake it would be better to mount or link to ~ under the name Home, let's say /tmp/username/Home would link to /home/username. Use /tmp/username/Home instead of /home/username as the Home folder when starting a session, and you get consistency across all applications (except any that are stupid enough to use /home/$USER instead of $HOME) AND get to call it whatever you want, regardless of what the real Home folder is called. As to what it should be called, we are trying to help new users here who aren't in on all this information. So from a support POV it would be better to call it Home, and when talking about it call it Home folder, same as Documents being discussed as Documents folder, or Places being referred to as the Places menu or Places sidebar. -- Home Folder has 3 different names https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/382703 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
