Hello Martin and Didier,<br>
<br>
We have been discussing adding the system settings to the launcher
and Documentation has agreed to the change. We think it is a
critical usability issue and it should be fixed.<br>
<br>
Can this be done at this time?<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
<br>
C.<br>

Yes, I gave my +1 because I think that in my role as a Documentation
Team member I only have the authority to veto UI changes that break
our documentation or make things more confusing for users. I defer to
the Release Team to decide if something is actually a good idea. So
instead of asking the Documentation Team for support, you'll need to
convince the Release Team since you already have your token acceptance
from us.
On the other hand, I think it is a terrible idea. As I commented on
the bug, I believe the user testing is wrong. It is extremely easy to
discover how to change the background, or change user accounts, or
change mouse settings and so on. System Settings is much more
discoverable in 11.10 than it was in 11.04. It may take a user a few
minutes to figure this out, but that's normal with a different UI. I'm
good with computers and it took me a while to figure out Android, iOS,
OS X, Windows 8, KDE, GNOME 2, GNOME 3, etc. and those aren't
necessarily broken UIs.
Thanks,
Jeremy Bicha
