[Bug 917767] Re: New control features are not automatically added to system settings
than a .desktop is needed in order to integrate into the menu when there just needs to be an icon well that's sort of what we distro patch in Ubuntu currently, click on software-properties in Oneiric for example or language selector...

Thank you for your bug report, that's not a bug, the new control-center is an integrated set and not a grid of launcher, capplets need to be properly integrated.

[Bug 917767] Re: New control features are not automatically added to system settings
Than you for your answers . I did some more searching (as to where to address my vision of why it is so wrong to have things that way) , and found out that you are one of the developers . So I'm thinking of how to emphasize it more , but I'll just say it - it's important to have a more flexible system (as a grid of icons launching standalone apps) , because the linux environment is user developed , and special integration into capplets , or whichever other complications you may introduce , Will mean that some applications will never appear in the system menu , and others will take their time . I know that having a unified design is important , but I'm pretty sure it's one step under functionality . One can have unified design for standalone apps - no problem ,therefore I don't see why the System settings menu had to get locked . I know it's not the biggest problem in the universe ,but it's the first time I stumble upon a regression in development for ubuntu , and I didn't think that happens much in the linux world . That's why I'm keen to see if one (I in this case) can make a difference for the better in the development . -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/917767 Title: New control features are not automatically added to system settings To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/917767/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 917767] Re: New control features are not automatically added to system settings
This dialog is the system settings, it's not supposed to be random applications you install, so the need to add external components is limited Note that our version of the control center allows external components to add icons (the backup icon for example is built from a different source) so it's not locked (upstream disagrees with that and dropped the integration library but that's another story, we keep it for Ubunu), the main difference is that other components can't simply add a simple .desktop but have actually to make some efforts to get their dialog showing nicely in the ui. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/917767 Title: New control features are not automatically added to system settings To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/917767/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 917767] Re: New control features are not automatically added to system settings
Well CCSM and Nvidia control panel , and a bunch of other applications aren't at all random , but external control centers to system components . And yes - the menu is not locked ,but the integration with it is needlessly complicated . What more than a .desktop is needed in order to integrate into the menu when there just needs to be an icon . Yes , it would be great to have all the options of Nvidia fully integrated into the corresponding menus , but that's just not going to happen . People are writing standalone apps for linux and not integrations to specific distros .
