Description Christoph Wickert 2011-03-27 11:32:03 UTC

Description of problem:
gnome-shell does not distinguish between per-user and system-wide settings.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnome-shell-2.91.91-2.fc15.i686

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Log into gnome-shell
2. Go to 'Activities' to display the search field
3. Type 'Language' into the search field
  
Actual results:
Both 'Language and Region' (per-user setting) and 'Language' (system-wide setting, system-config-language) are shown under settings. Now guess which one is the one you need.

Expected results:
There should be a way to distinguish between system-wide and per-user settings.

Additional info:
Same problem with control-center, also mixing system-wide and per-user settings.

Comment 1 Colin Walters 2011-03-27 18:15:23 UTC

In the next release, system-config-language will just be an application, while only the control-center components appear under Settings.

The system/user distinction has never really existed consistently; the design goal is to make things that one has privilege to change obviously done through the UI, such as changing the Date/Time can be done by clicking on the clock directly.

Please retest with 2.91.93 when it lands.
