Dave: No worries :) I actually appreciate your workaround, and learning about gnome-tweak, something I've never needed before. Like I said, it is fine for you and I, but not Mom and Dad (for most samples of Mom and Dad). I am just more frustrated that, as Tom points out, this seems to be a philosophical change, rather than one of any technical merit.
And I'm firmly on the other side of the debate here, as I am strongly against too much "dumbing down" of Linux. Make it easier to use for the average person, sure, but don't make it brain-dead. One of the BIGGEST draws to Linux aside from stability is that you can configure SO MUCH so easily, and limiting this, IMHO, takes away from Linux instead of adding any real value. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/792636 Title: Power section no longer allows configuration of "when the lid is closed" action in Oneiric To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/792636/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
