Bug Description

Binary package hint: gnome-control-center

in the display manager gnome-control-center, it has a thumbnail image displays. of these miniatures, we have a mini panel. Can we choose the primary display with drag and drop this mini panel ... The Bug Is That Is The mini panel gnome-shell one ... Would it be nice and more clear If You Can replace it with a little Unity or Something Like That. I joined capture;)

[Next Action]
* [Design] feedback about help label
* [andyrock] Link to branch/patch/code
* Code review of andyrock's proposed changes

--------------------------------------------------------
Desired Solution:

- Implement the new design for 'Display settings' as detailed in section 2.4 of the 'Gnome 3 System Settings changes' specification https://docs.google.com/a/canonical.com/document/d/1ILTJDiDCd25Npt2AmgzF8aOnZZECxTfM0hvsbWT2BxA/edit?hl=en_GB

- Note the concept of primary monitor is now removed, and that with a Launcher on every monitor there is no need to select on which monitor the Launcher should be displayed. See http://design.canonical.com/the-toolkit/unity-multi-monitor-interactions/

Thanks, that's really a bar, it could be as well the unity one out of the clock position, maybe we should just drop the label from it, it seems overwork to have to detect what environment is running to tweak the bar rendering

Thanks .. I think it's maybe miscellaneous but i discover this way to change the order of my screens to have Unity on the good one ... I spend e lot of time to discover it and to understand i can drag and drop the little panel ..finally I discovered the date in the middle and understood that's a copy of gnome-shell panel . if i could see a minimized Unity , I think I would have understood immediately .. More usable isn't it ?

PS : my english is very very poor ..I hope you will excuse it :-/

This does not really break the functionality of this applet. Untargetting from oneiric, and dropping assignment.

@seb128; bumping the importance of this bug back up a bit because there is still a lot of important functionality missing from the current implementation ( only about 40% of the spec'ed changes to this panel were completed in the 12.04 cycle )
