Nice! So it happens at last.

The upgrade went fine, and it replaced most of the
gnome-control-center* packages with the unity-* counterparts, except
for gnome-control-center-data:
$ dpkg -l *control-center*|grep ^ii
ii activity-log-manager-control-center 0.9.7-0ubuntu4+unity
all blacklist configuration for Zeitgeist
(transitional package)
ii gnome-control-center-data
1:3.8.6-0ubuntu1+unity all configuration
applets for GNOME - data files
ii libgnome-control-center1 1:3.6.3-0ubuntu49
amd64 utilities to configure the GNOME
desktop
ii libunity-control-center1 1.0
amd64 utilities to configure the GNOME
desktop
ii unity-control-center 1.0
amd64 utilities to configure the GNOME
desktop
ii unity-control-center-data 1.0
all configuration applets for GNOME -
data files
ii unity-control-center-signon
0.1.7~+14.04.20131126.2-0ubuntu1+unity amd64 Unity Control
Center extension for single signon
It seems to me that if we want to add a "real" gnome-control-center,
-data should be migrated as well? Or does u-c-c not need this at all?
(Then it should be cleaned up on upgrade, or get owned by the "real"
g-c-c)
After upgrading, the menu entry from the session indicator doesn't
work. This needs a "pkill -f indicator-session-service" or a reboot;
could the pkill perhaps be put into the postinst?
The new control-center window is too wide, but this is probably
related to the transition to GTK 3.10, not due to u-c-c itself.
Many entries are now untranslated, I guess this also changed the
translation domain? Can we copy the translations from g-c-c, so that
they get imported into LP?
Thanks,
Martin
