Re: Control Center Behavior

[Joshua Eichorn <jeichorn joshuaeichorn com>]

Sorry maybe i wan't being clear, the point was that the functionality is 
there, so this is just a change of default, from shell to nautilus.
And yes i agree you can't get to the shell unless you know hte command 
line which isn't accessible to new users, but its even more
confusing to have 2 control center items, so its more or less change the 
default or leave things at status quo.
