Description David Le Sage 2011-03-04 01:21:36 UTC
Description of problem:
If you have both the KDE and GNOME System Monitor utilities installed, you cannot tell them apart in the GNOME Shell's Applications Tab.  They both have the same icon and the same name "System Monitor" so, until you launch them, you cannot tell which is which.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
GNOME System Monitor 2.99.0
KDE System Monitor 4.6.00
gnome-shell-2.91.90-2.fc15.x86_64


How reproducible:
Every time.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go into the GNOME Shell Overlay.
2. Click on the Applications tab.
3. Scroll down to the System Monitors.
  
Actual results:
Cannot tell which is which.

Expected results:
Distinct icons or a reference to KDE or GNOME in the utilities' names.

Comment 1 Owen Taylor 2011-03-04 16:20:59 UTC
This doesn't seem like a GNOME Shell specific problem, if they display that way in GNOME Shell, they will display the same way in the fallback mode menus, and probably even in KDE. 

The GNOME System Monitor is an operating system component, so displaying it as "System Monitor" is the appropriate display within a GNOME environment OnlyShowIn/NotShowIn lines could be added, I suppose (depending on what should show in XFCE, etc)

Comment 2 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-07 17:35:21 UTC
This message is a notice that Fedora 15 is now at end of life. Fedora
has stopped maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 15. It is
Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no
longer maintained. At this time, all open bugs with a Fedora 'version'
of '15' have been closed as WONTFIX.

(Please note: Our normal process is to give advanced warning of this
occurring, but we forgot to do that. A thousand apologies.)

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, feel free to reopen
this bug and simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version.

Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that
we were unable to fix it before Fedora 15 reached end of life. If you
would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it
against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on
"Clone This Bug" (top right of this page) and open it against that
version of Fedora.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes
bugs or makes them obsolete.

The process we are following is described here:
