GNOME and KDE Devs Wrangle Over 'System Settings' Name

An anonymous reader writes "The developer of the KDE System Settings application has launched a formal complaint against GNOME for renaming 'Control Center' to 'System Settings' in GNOME 3.0. This developer is demanding that GNOME immediately change the name of their control panel area. Developers on both sides are now discussing this act."

No, really, this is ridiculous

They're just following the Microsoft model of renaming/moving everything just when you get to know where things are and what they're called.

Microsoft spends millions of $$$ a year on usability studies so it must be the correct thing to do.

There's that word again; "lighter". Why are things so much lighter in the future? Is there a problem with the earth's gravitational pull?

Quit using two bloated desktops that jumped the shark and have roadmaps leading to buggy piles of shit as milestones, and your problems are solved.

Re:"control panel"

[erroneus]

Agreed. It should be Kontrol Kpanel. They really love putting K in front of everything as it is... or have they finally gotten over that?
