Description petrosyan 2007-06-29 05:48:32 UTC
Description of problem:
virt-manager is not GNOME HIG compliant.
1. according to GNOME HIG the menu entry tooltip should be phrased as a verb.
virt-manager's menu entry tooltip is "The virtual machine management tool".
"Manage virtual machines" would be more appropriate.
http://developer.gnome.org/projects/gup/hig/2.0/desktop-integration.html#menu-item-tooltips

2. Help/Help menu uses "Ctrl+H" keyboard shortcut. According to GNOME HIG the
keyboard shortcut should be "F1" and the menu entry should be renamed
"Help/Contents"

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
virt-manager-0.4.0-2.fc7

Steps to Reproduce:
less /usr/share/applications/virt-manager.desktop

Comment 1 Daniel Berrangé 2007-07-04 04:50:00 UTC
Thanks for the info about the GNOME HIG. I have made the neccessary fixes in
upstream codebase

http://hg.et.redhat.com/virt/applications/virt-manager--devel?cs=06f345efd6d8
http://hg.et.redhat.com/virt/applications/virt-manager--devel?cs=eba56a06e7b7

Will be included in Fedora next time we sync with upstream.


Comment 2 Daniel Berrangé 2007-10-05 02:33:10 UTC
This is available in rawhide in virt-manager-0.5.2 or later.
