It would be nice to do following changes for RC2:
1) Make YaST better especially gnome-main-menu (patch is not yet done),
Nod. JP, I think we discussed this in the past and this was wanted?
but maybe even in traditinal menu (see comment 10 for patch).
Hrm, not sure I agree here. It kind of breaks the consistency of the system menu (at least in my mind) where all items are in submenus. I'd prefer to stay the current way if possible.
2) Display package-manager anywhere in the traditional menu (see comment 10 for patch).
I'd put it in the system submenu. We have a "software update" (not sure if it's the correct name in english, I'm using the french locale) there, and I'd expect it to be there too. I wouldn't put it in the toplevel menu, like for YaST. Another approach would be to put it at the end of the applications menu, since people mainly use it to install applications, after all. Probably too late for 11.0, though (since it also affects KDE).
3) Display control-center in the traditional menu (only minor usability hint, see comment 12 and comment 10 for patch).
I'm more opposed to this one: having this by default creates a highly-visible redundancy. To me, it's much better to only have the control center shell item (and not submenus) or to only have the submenus (and not shell item). Going with both sounds to me like we couldn't decide what to do. I personally don't think a lot of people are changing many settings so often, so I like it the current way. -- 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.

add a package manager in the upstream menu (under System->System, at the same level as "software update")
Needs a minor change in libzypp: Add X-SuSE-ControlCenter-System to Categories of package-manager.desktop in libzypp package, e. g. using %suse_update_desktop_file. -- 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.
