Description Michael Monreal 2007-01-13 20:19:39 UTC 
Right now the new shell window stays open after a sub program is launched. this leads to the fact that you will have to close it manually, while most of the time you just need the window to run one config app.

It would be nice to have the option (gconf) to make the shell windows disappear after it was used to launch a config app. Same can be done for the applications launcher window of gnome-main-menu and it is very nice.

Ugh... it is actually already possible, using the cc_* keys in desktop/gnome/applications/main-menu... Would perhaps make sense to move the settings to another location in gconf?

This isn't actually a duplicate of bug 394303. This bug is requesting that the control center shell close after opening a capplet. As Michael has already found the gconf key that allows this behavior, perhaps the request should be changed to "move gconf keys to a more appropriate location"?
Comment 4 Jens Granseuer 2007-01-15 09:32:49 UTC 
I obviously misread that. Sorry, Michael.
Comment 5 Michael Monreal 2007-01-15 09:50:26 UTC 
Not a problem. Yes, I think the gconf key should be moved somewhere... is there a gconf group for c-c stuff? I have to say I don't really understand how how this stuff works, do both gnome-c-c and gnome-main-menu install their own version of the shell right now and both pickup the key from main-menu?
Comment 6 Denis Washington 2007-01-19 13:35:05 UTC 
Currently both use the main-menu keys.
Comment 7 Denis Washington 2007-02-10 13:45:39 UTC 
Changed bug state to FIXED as the gconf keys for the shell are shipped with gnome-control-center now (they are in /apps/control-center).
