mac_v, With regard to the Places item limitation, I agree. While I'm not so sure that adding a gconf entry is necessary, the Ubuntu gnome-panel package could patch the hardcoded value as mentioned in the upstream report. The limit of 5 bookmarks is bizarre; less than half of the menu height can be utilized, and yet, after installing a few extra applications, the System -> Preferences menu will overflow at a standard 1024x768 resolution.
We could raise the limit from 5 to 8 or perhaps a little more, and the menu will never overflow - unless you have a lot of partitions/devices present on your system (and why can't the list of devices turn into a submenu in the same way as bookmarks do?). We don't need to fight with upstream - let's add the gnome-panel package to the also-affected list for this bug and see if the maintainer would be willing to make this very small change. ** Also affects: gnome-panel (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- downloads should go to $HOME/Downloads : XDG_DOWNLOAD_DIR should be set to "$HOME/Downloads" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/204567 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
