Indeed. This requires first removing the applet's own settings window and migrating all of its settings into the KCM so we don't have two types of configuration anymore (applet-specific and global). That's been done for other applets, but still needs to be done for this one. See Bug 440846. Now that the audio kcm has a single page, it can be brought back to the applet configuration if that was the way we want forward. I think it's the reverse: we want the KCM to be the source of truth here and for the applet's configure button to open the KCM, which is what we do for all the other applets at this point. In principle, none of the applet's current options are applet-specific; they're all global options. So the KCM is really the right place for them, and it should just appear in System Settings IMO. I really think applets should only have settings pages that affect just that specific applet instance. They shouldn't expose global settings in there.

I misleadingly though that those settings were applet-specific Yeah, that's exactly why they shouldn't live in an applet settings window. :) *** Bug 443939 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 445452 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** *** Bug 456246 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** |
