[gnome-flashback] where is the about? And setting org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences button-layout to 'appmenu:minimize, maximize, close'

[shirish शिरीष <shirishag75 gmail com>]

Hi all,
Came to gnome-session-flashback after sometime. For some reason the
panel was empty so populated it.

Then saw that there is nothing to tell that this is
gnome-session-flashback. I tried both GNOME menu as well as the Menu
bar but there is nothing to tell or which says this is
gnome-session-flashback (except the absence of shell interface). IMHO
there should be a About or something which tells of
gnome-session-flashback.

These are the various pieces of gnome-flashback in my system .

[$] dpkg -l gnome-flashback gnome-flashback-common
gnome-session-flashback libpanel-applet0 gnome-screensaver
gnome-screenshot gnome-applets

I do wish there was a gnome-flashback meta-package which had all the
required components so I could figure out if I was missing something.
Is there such a meta-package in progress ?

The next thing I had to do was having minimize, maximize buttons in
addition to the close button (which seem to be the default nowadays).

I had forgotten how to use gsettings to view only one preferences from
the list hence had to use this crude form.

$] gsettings list-recursively org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences
.........
...........
..........
org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences button-layout 'appmenu:close'

This I then changed to :-

$gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences button-layout
'appmenu:minimize,maximize,close'

and now have minimize and maximize buttons in addition to the close
button in the apps.

Looking forward to know if there is some document or something in
works to have an about button and some documentation about the
project.

Looking forward to know and learn.
