This may or may not end up being adjustable from the GUI in Natty, but there will definitely be an easy way to change it if you are not scared of editing text files.
The Unity places are defined in terms of .place files located in /usr/share/unity/places. If you look at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Unity/Places you'll see that the spec has two keys ShowGlobal and ShowEntry which controls whether a place is integrated in the global search results (when you press the Ubuntu button) and/or has a dedicated entry in the launcher. The support for this hasn't entirely landed yet, but it will soon. When it does you should just be able to put ShowEntry=false in the .place files. Then log out and log back in, and the launcher tiles should be gone. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/729925 Title: There should be a configuration option not to show Applications and Places icons -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
