[Bug 922135] Re: Inconsitencies between Software sources and modalities to open it

[Robert Roth]

Subscribing mpt, the designer working on the Software & Updated control
center applet for his input.

** Description changed:

- It's currently called "Software Sources" when probably a more
- appropriate name is simply "Settings".
+ Currently software-properties' main window has the title "Software Sources", which can be invoked from:
+ * software center->Edit menu-> Software Sources
+ * Synaptic -> Settings menu-> Repositories
+ * Update Manager -> Settings button
+ 
+ We should keep the title and the label of the action accessing software-
+ propeties consistent, as suggested by the HIG, the action should end
+ with ellipsis, and the title of the window should be the same as the
+ label without the trailing ellipsis.
+ 
+ Regardless of the name chosen, it should be updated in all of the above
+ applications for consistency.
+ 
+ Also see [1] for the work-in-progress design of the new software-
+ properties control center applet, as the title will probably also appear
+ there.

** Also affects: synaptic (Ubuntu)
   Importance: Undecided
       Status: New

** Summary changed:

- Inconsitencies between Software sources and modalities to open it
+ Inconsistencies between Software sources and modalities to open it

** Changed in: synaptic (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Confirmed
