I think the suggestion in the original report is valid, but I don't feel it is something we should document. The panel UI seems to change every release, and trying to explain in text how to find certain icons in the panel can be an imperfect process. In this case we could say something along the lines of "Find the envelope icon in the upper taskbar by the clock, click it, and choose Evolution Mail from the dropdown." However, that is rather wordy, when we could just keep "Start Evolution by pressing Applications->Internet->Evolution Mail."
The latter is more reliable as it is (mostly) independent of the user's UI preferences. Ryan's point about being able to customize the menus is also valid, but is a more involved procedure than adding/removing applets. Finally, the Applications menu is more like using the Start menu in Windows, and this document is geared toward users switching from Windows - this might make the new environment feel a little more friendly to new users making the switch. ** Changed in: ubuntu-docs (Ubuntu) Status: Invalid => Won't Fix -- windows line 1038 - takes the long rout of opening evolution https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/493143 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
