Bug 685142

Is it intentional that we're showing e.g. system-config-firewall in non-fallback?  I'm not sure.  I'll take this as a blocker until we decide what the design is, I agree it's inconsistent.

System-config-firewall is only one example.
What about gnome-packagekit?
If a user can't install a package graphically, then fallback mode is failing to do it's job (providing a 100% working system for hardware that can't run the shell). A user who is not familiar with the command line / terminal and uses the fallback can't launch it at all.

It is possible to take gnome-packagekit as an exception and put it in the System menu without a category or (somewhere) in the Applications menu (maybe without a category?). It is much more important than other configuration UIs.

Thanks for catching this!  Discussed this with Jon McCann; the plan is roughly to move the admin tools into a separate application category in both fallback and standard.  I'll link the upstream bugs here soon.

use it

So both gnome-shell and gnome-panel are using redhat-menus, not gnome-menus.  These two patches fix gnome-shell to use gnome-menus as designed.

I would really like to see us drop redhat-menus for good, but that is probably F16 material at this point. The patches look fine to me for F15. Not sure if we have a hard dep on gnome-menus somewhere below gnome-shell, might be good to add an explicit one in the shell spec ?

IMO Menu items form Other should NOT be shown in All (we don't want tons of old-ish configuration UIs visible all time, do we?).

The fix for not showing crap is to not have crap installed, IMO.

Discussed at 2011-04-15 blocker review meeting. We're worried about this and prima facie we felt like we might want it to be a blocker, but it does not meet any existing criteria. We decided to take a pragmatic route and accept it as NTH but reject it as blocker, as there's a fix pending; we'd look more closely at writing a criterion for this if we were closer to release with no fix.

If anyone's unhappy with the fix and feels it still doesn't expose things that should be exposed, please re-open this bug if it gets closed.

Actually the current fix is a bit problematic, because it will cause showing the Other menu in default installation, and it's against the final release criteria: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_15_Final_Release_Criteria

To fix this, I'd suggest: not shipping system-config-services by default (doesn't work with systemd), move system-config-firewall to System Tools, but I have no idea what to do with the other items there (the correct fix will be either making an Administration menu, or changing the criteria)

gnome-menus-3.0.0-2.fc15, gnome-shell-3.0.0.2-2.fc15, gnome-panel-3.0.0.1-2.fc15 has been pushed to the Fedora 15 stable repository.  If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report.

elad: nice catch, can you file a separate bug for that one, then?
