[Touch-packages] [Bug 1710377] Re: "Additional Drivers" desktop shortcut missing in Ubuntu 17.10

[Matthew Paul Thomas]

That “Additional Drivers” has its own .desktop file at all is the result
of two ancient accidents.

First, it dates from 2008, before Ubuntu gained a unified System
Settings utility. 

And second, Additional Drivers was merged into Software & Updates Settings, but 
nobody has yet taken the next step of integrating Software & Updates Settings 
into System Settings.


But as long as you can access it *from* System Settings (and as well as
from Software Updater and Gnome Software), I don’t think it’s
appropriate for it to have a .desktop file at all. That it’s a separate
app is a technical detail.

FWIW, I said much the same thing more than ten years ago.

Yes, software-properties-drivers.desktop has NotShowIn=GNOME;KDE;

One reason this was done for Ubuntu GNOME was because the app does not
provide a generic app icon (!) so it looks really bad if the icon theme
is set to Adwaita for instance.

I think this would need a User Interface Freeze Exception if we wanted
to fix this for Ubuntu 17.10.
