Your patch causing problems rodrigo?

My bad on some of these. I didn't see the scroll bar. The Mouse, Screen
Resolution, and Printers are there, but not the other three.

AFAIK, Menus was removed on purpose.

> AFAIK, Menus was removed on purpose.
So are we saying that we are not allowing users to edit menus? This is not
consistent with previous builds or with KDE's ability to edit menus. What is the
background of this decision?

For editing menus, you right click on the menu bar in the panel. The menus
applet is just for configuring the look & feel of the menus and toolbars.

The file associations applet has also been removed, since that is now done, in
an easier way, via Nautilus itself.

As for the background, which is the only one missing (right?), I can see it in
my installation. Can't think how my patch (which just compares the command in
the .desktop file to 'xscreensaver-demo') could cause the background applet to
not show up.

The reason that I opened this bug was that I tried to change the default program
for opening PNG files to gimp because I do a lot of image editing. When I right
click, I have the option to open it in gimp, but I want to change it to the
default action. There is no option to change this to the default action. So then
I went into gnome-control-center to see if the file associations was there. It
wasn't. So my real reason for opening this bug is that there is not way to
change or add to a default file association.

Right click on the file and go to the "open with" tab.

I'll file the scroll bar issue as a separate bug.

Not a bug in the end.

That doesn't keep the setting. If I right click and tell it to open with GIMP it
will, one time. Then the next time that I try and open it (just by double
clicking it) it will open it with the old setting. The bug is that there is no
option to save this.

Right, there is no way to set the default app

Reducing severity to `normal'. I hope it is understandable that this bug is not
critical at the current production state.

This is at least a Major lost of functionality. Changing to Major.

This was changed upstream, not sure if we should re-add it

(1) Desktop Background - I see it
(2) Mouse - I see it
(3) Printers - I see it
(4) Screen Resolution - I see it
(5) File Associations - does not exist any more - see below
(6) Menus - decission of UI team

For other missing capplets Rodrigo Moya wrote: The UI team decided normal users
should not see those:

about me (disabled)
CD database server (big menu Multimedia -> Disk tools)
File manager (Accesible via Nautilus window -> Edit -> Preferences)
login photo (big menu System -> Service settings)
menus & toolbars (big menu Tools -> Desktop)
multimedia systems selector (from gstreamer) (big menu System -> Service settings)
prefereed applications (big menu Tools -> Desktop)

All needed missing capplets can be found in big menu.

Since GNOME 2.10, default application capplet does not exist. It is set by right
click -> Properties -> Open with. This is an upstream change.
