https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=332418 Summary: Rename "Hard Disk" in main menu to describe what will open (System Monitor) Product: openSUSE 10.3 Version: Final Platform: Other OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: GNOME AssignedTo: bnc-team-gnome@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: btimothy@novell.com QAContact: qa@suse.de Found By: --- The current naming of the "Hard Disk" item in the main menu is a little misleading. Some users might think that it would open the hard drive in Nautilus. Other users expect the behavior that they've become used to (opening System Monitor). There are a couple problems with the way it is currently behaving: 1. System Monitor doesn't actually contain any mention of the words "Hard Disk." 2. The system monitor tab that is opened is not always consistent. Sometimes it shows the CPU activity, other times the general system information, etc. It opens up to the last tab that was viewed. I think the confusion would be resolved if the "Hard Disk" icon were renamed to be something like "System Monitor". This way, there would be less confusion when the System Monitor opens. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Having access to an "administrator" feature directly from the main menu seems overkill. We should reserve the main menu for things that need to be discoverable by average users. Average users want to manage their files, not monitor processes and CPU usage. Not to mention that the hard disk icon in the Windows and MacOS menus open the file browser, and people are used to that. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

They (including myself) all wanted System Monitor back. As much as we would like to think that nothing will hang in a Linux Desktop, it does, and easy access to the system monitor to kill off those processes is beneficial for the user. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Given that we've already tried to remove the System Monitor and had lots of complaints, let's leave it in. Let's just rename the label in the Main Menu so it says something like "System Monitor" :). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

I agree with you. System monitor, in my opinion, doesn't belong directly off of a desktop's main menu, but since this battle was already fought elsewhere, we at least should have our naming of the icons right. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

1. "Total" got cut Fixed by removing size request in the attached patch

...

2. "Home" sounds better than "Disk" as disk is slightly misleading, the free space is not of the entire disk, just the home partition, but that is just cosmetics. Fixed in the attached patch

...

3. One decimal is required, as there is 5.7G free but only 5 is shown. I think someone else was working on this so have not looked at it.

What about only showing 1 decimal place and just removing the word "Total" Also removed the deletion of gtk_widget_set_size_request from the network tile since we are only changing the hard drive tile and I'm not sure that we want the network tile to grow unrestricted - ie would it be possible to have some long device name in there that would make that tile and thus the size of the right pane way too big.
