From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:0.9.3) Gecko/20010803 Description of problem: Selecting GNOME Control Center from the Programs->Settings menu opens the regular GNOME Control Center, and not the one embedded in nautilus. How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Click the foot menu 2. Go to Programs 3. Go to Settings 4. Select "GNOME Control Center" Actual Results: The legacy GNOME Control Center starts. Expected Results: A new nautilus window should open to preferences:/// Additional info: This really should be called "Desktop Preferences", not "GNOME Control Center". Also, I recommend just nuking the entire Settings menu - it is not particularily useful. I prefer to just open a window and select sections there since it is faster and more convenient; I typically change settings in more than one module at a time (example: background image, WM theme, GTK theme), which makes navigating through many submenus multiple times cumbersome and time consuming. If you do decide to keep the Settings menu, it belongs as a top level menu, not under Programs - Settings aren't programs to users, they're just settings. Programs are applications that the user can run to accomplish a task.
The "GNOME Control Center" item doesn't exist in Rawhide control-center package, I took it out. I want to keep the Settings menu items because people complain about running Nautilus. Once Nautilus is de-bloated a bit more I'd consider removing it. We have to keep the menu hierarchy including Settings because that is standardized with KDE. However a new standard is in the works at which time it can be reworked.
