Description Barry Jackson 2011-04-16 14:18:01 CEST

Description of problem:
I think it would be nice to have this installed by default on the KDE desktop. I use it in Mageia and Mdv and I find it useful - plus it's cute!
;-)

Comment 1 John Balcaen 2012-01-03 18:04:41 CET

hum we do have a Â« join mageia community already Â» icon, no ? 
It's sort of redundant ?
Also i'm not sure that i should be the one to decide what's to add by default on default kde's desktop (& having a lot of files available is quite ugly from my point of view :p ) so reassigning to bug team (maybe install team is more appropriate since if we're doing it for kde there's strictly no reason to not have it on xfce/gnome/whatelse

Yep I think it's also redundant with the community icon

Well no, the intended function is totally different.

I have many test systems on one machine and it's very handy to just click and check if it's Cauldron i586 or x86_64 or mga1 x86_64 etc.. that I am using.

I'm easy either way - I suggested it before the community icon appeared.

I always add it to my desktop as I find it very useful, whereas I always remove the community icon as it's no use once you have joined.

Just my $0.02 ;)

I am against this. This is useless, you can set your background Mga1. Mga1 64-bit.

Well that is *your* opinion and if you hate it you can always delete it - just like I have to delete the community icon on each install.

I find it very useful as I can't be bothered messing with backgrounds. Moreover I tend to use a common /home with identical setup on each system.

At least it *has* an on-going function. Unlike the community icon which *is* useless once you have joined, so most people will delete it, leaving no Mageia identity on the desktop.

Anyhow - as I said before I am easy either way, it's no big deal and there are more pressing matters. ;)

Hi,

This bug was filed against cauldron, but we do not have cauldron at the moment.

Please report whether this bug is still valid for Mageia 2.

Thanks :)

Cheers,
marja

OK 12 months is long enough.

Since everyone who has commented has totally missed the point of this I give up and am closing as WONTFIX.
