UI changes
- kill the name picker that pops up when quitting activities (EASY) (tch)
- Nobody ever uses it, it's just annoying and confusing for new users who don't know how to dismiss it. Maybe one day someone will come out with a less intrusive UI for the same purpose, but for the time being we're much better off without anything. (Gary suggests implementing Features/Write_to_journal_anytime)
- Figure out why so many control panels require restarting Sugar, and fix them not to (MEDIUM)
- Because we use GConf for settings, we should be able to setup callbacks to be invoked on any change.
- kill the "Mute" function on the volume icon in the frame (EASY)
- I can't think of a useful use-case for it, and children often manage to turn on muting by simply clicking on the speaker icon (which is a lame UI, btw). If we remove this feature, we have to unconditionally unmute on startup! (Gary agreed and asked to file a ticket)
Control panel items reduction
- Power has only 2 options, they could go into a context menu on the battery icon in the frame
- Backup/restore -> journal (or a schoolserver icon in the mesh view)
- touchpad -> device icon on the frame + global keyboard shortcut to switch between resistive and capacitive
- accessibility -> fold into keyboard
- modem config -> context menu on the modem icon in the frame
- find out why sugar needs to be restarted on trivial settings changes such as frame timeout and solve it
- Register Again creates duplicate xs icons on the volumes toolbar
- Journal sort by creation date - journal entries are being created with ctime=0 (41 years ago)
