Gnome setup in Ubuntu

[Colin Law]

[Solved]
I have just updated (it was only a couple of days out of date) and the
Add-ons tab has appeared. Very odd that it has been available for some
time in a system that had the gnome desktop added to a Unity system,
but only just appeared in a fresh Gnome install.  I am guessing that
it was related to the settings that tell gnome-software where to
download it package list from. I had found some likely looking stuff
in dconf that seemed to be related to this and was going to compare
the settings on the two machines, but it is too late now as it is
working.
