shell: make the .desktop file pass "--overview" (1.12 KB, patch)
2011-01-10 23:26 UTC, Dan Winship 		committed Details | Review

Description Dan Winship 2011-01-10 23:26:34 UTC 
This makes the main gnome-control-center.desktop file pass "--overview",
so that if the control center is already open, and you "re-launch" it,
you see the overview, rather than having it merely raise the window
keeping the current panel open.

I am assuming this is the desired behavior because the System Preferences
option in gnome-shell's user menu currently runs "gnome-control-center -o".
However, we want to switch the menus to using .desktop files where
possible, so in order to keep the behavior unchanged, we need to make
gnome-control-center.desktop pass -o.

shell: make the .desktop file pass "--overview"

Opening the shell via the main gnome-control-center.desktop file
should display it in overview mode. In particular, if the shell is
already open, then "launching" it again via the main .desktop file
should switch the existing window to the overview rather than just
raising it but leaving it pointing to whatever panel it was pointing
to before.
