I'm aware of that, what I meant by "inclusion by default" was that it would be active in the menu without requiring enabling in the menu editor. > i personally still doubt the usability to wait 30sec for a > control-center shell window to come up If that's not an exaggeration, then that would of course be a serious issue. On my computer it certainly doesn't take 30 seconds, it's more like 3-4 seconds. Do you know the reason for the delay on your computer? If that's a common bug then of course I accept it is a valid justification of the status quo. > and then search with a search > tool for the thing i need while i just wanted to quickly change a > setting ... Actually, it's easier to find an application in gnome-control-center because they are grouped in categories. Looking for the correct tool to change a configuration setting in the long Administration/Preferences menus is actually very difficult unless you already know what it is called - not all of them are completely intuitive. That's ok for people who have been using Gnome a while, but it must be hell for those who haven't. -- Matthew East http://www.mdke.org gnupg pub 1024D/0E6B06FF -- ubuntu-desktop mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-desktop
