Hi all!
You might've read my blogpost[1] about adding YaST menuitem to GNOME 3 Status menu. During today's meeting we agreed that we want to integrate YaST and we'd like to discuss what is the best option.
The options are:
a) add YaST menuitem to Status menu [+] The easiest way, because it is already implemented[1] [-] Beginner user can be confused about items "System Settings" and "YaST Control Center". We can change them to "Desktop Settings" and "Administrator Settings" or something similar, but that would diverge from upstream which is not very nice.
b) add YaST icon to System Settings (new icon under System Category) [+] Easy to implement as well [-] Requires one extra click when compared to option a)
c) add YaST modules icons to System Settings [-] Probably ugly and pollutes System Settings with 100s new icons [-] Might require root password after clicking on each item
d) create extra tab YaST in GNOME Shell Original suggestion by Nelson[2] [+] Nice openSUSE differentiation point [-] Might require root password after clicking on each item [-] More programming work when compared to options a), b), c)
e) create extra YaST category in Applications tab in GNOME Shell [-] Might be confusing [-] Might require root password after clicking on each item
Did I forgot any option? Do you have thoughts, ideas, preferences?
PS: This is not about porting yast-gtk from GTK2 to GTK3, this should happen anyway so YaST itself would look similar to g-c-c.

My personal preference is for either option A or B, with a leaning towards option A. It would have been better if upstream had used "Desktop Settings", but I think that is something we can live with. We need to educate people to the difference of the two items :-) Regards, Andy P.S.
