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

[Matthew Paul Thomas]

As Robert said, my preliminary sketch uses "Software & Updates" as the
name for a System Settings panel. To match, I propose that in USC "Edit"
> "Software Sources…" should change to "Edit" > "Settings…", and
"Settings" > "Repositories" in Synaptic should change to "Settings" >
"Software & Updates…". The equivalent button label in Update Manager is
already "Settings…", so that doesn't need changing.

Finally, if the System Settings panel isn't implemented for 12.10, I
think it would be reasonable to retitle the "Software Sources" window to
"Software & Updates Settings" in the meantime.

Title:
  Inconsistencies between Software sources and modalities to open it

Status in “software-properties” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in “synaptic” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in “update-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  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.
