Public bug reported:
Upgrading from Natty to Oneiric, and furthermore, comparing Natty and
Oneiric's machines, it's really impressive to notice how many features
have been lost in Gnome's Control Center, making Oneiric's one truly a
"Poor man's control center".
For example :
- No Screen Saver config in Oneiric (this one misses SO MUCH !)
- No Connection Window DM (GDM/LightDM...) config in Oneiric
- No Remote Desktop config icon...
- No "personal network shares" icon...
- No CompizConfig integration...
- No HD utility icon...
- No Gparted icon...
- No Synaptic / Package manager icon...
- No system monitor icon...
- No Computer janitor icon...
- No Network tools icon...
- No logs viewer icon...
- No password and keys management icon...
Many icons lead to poor or incomplete panels (energy / screen are very
poor...)
So WTF is left ? Is this the new iPad control panel or whatever ?
OTOH:
- The default applications are set in a completely stupid place ("System
Information")
And OTOH:
- 2 different "Keyboard" and "Keyboard layout" icons in 2 different sections of
Oneiric's CC: Makes no sense
- 2 "Ubuntu One" icons in Oneiric's CC: why not three ?
And OTOH:
- "Displays" and "Startup Applications" have migrated into the User Menu, where
they have nothing to do (and will be very rarely used for most people except
executives using videoprojectors for presentations, most of which don't use
Linux anyway...) so we congest and clutter a menu with useless stuff for no
reason.
What a mess !
