Description Hans de Goede 2011-03-25 15:17:52 UTC
Do for example the following:

-Click on the "Universal Access" icon in the top panel
-Select Universal Access Settings
-Click All settings
-Notice how the top panel still says Universal Access, with the matching icon

Now do:
-Click on your name in the top panel
-Click system settings
-Now you end up with the same window, but the top panel does say
 "System Settings", which is not very consistent

The behavior for the shown icon in the top panel matches,

Comment 1 Hans de Goede 2011-03-25 15:27:41 UTC
I just noticed 2 related problems:

1) If you've started the system settings through username->system-settings and
   then click the Universal Access top panel icon -> Universal Access settings.
   The launch notification fails, and you get a busy cursor long after the
   existing window has been raised.

2) If you've started the system settings through username->system-settings and
   then selected some capplet like "sound", then do username->system-settings
   again it does not switch back to the all settings screen, where as
   doing Universal Access top panel icon -> Universal Access settings, will
   make it switch to the Universal Access settings screen if it was started
   through username->system-settings (and visa versa).

Comment 2 Owen Taylor 2011-03-29 17:36:15 UTC
It's supposed to show the name System Settings and the corresponding icon, and not the icon for the panel it was launched as. I do reproduce this here. Other bugs don't sound related to me, I'll file them separately upstream if I can reproduce. (Not moving this one upstream, I'll wait for Colin to investigate.)

Looks like it has been reported upstream in the meantime:

Comment 4 Fedora End Of Life 2012-08-07 17:36:50 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Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no
longer maintained.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:
