Description Bastien Nocera 2013-01-15 11:12:48 UTC 
gnomecc.menu isn't used by gnome-control-center anymore and will be removed from there before 3.7.5.

Either gnome-shell needs to:
- ship the gnomecc.menu/gnomecc.directory files itself and use them
- special case the gnome-control-center search provider to display as per design (see bug 690577 for the addition of such a search provider).
Comment 1 Bastien Nocera 2013-01-15 11:21:54 UTC 
In bug 650699, we want to be able to hide particular panels from view, and we want others to appear dimmed if hardware for it isn't available.

I think this is a case for the 2nd option, as it would centralise the functions to show/hide/dim the panels.

Florian pointed me to:
http://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-shell/tree/src/shell-app-system.c#n109

Which shows gnomecc.menu also being used to cache the desktop files, and used to launch the specific settings panels in the status menus.

Closing this as duplicate, to avoid scattering the discussion all around.
