GNOME and KDE Devs Wrangle Over 'System Settings' Name 289
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."

Oh BTW dumbfuck, LOTS of Linux users have multiple DE's installed! Typical that you Gnome people can't grasp that simple fact.

That is precisely how they decided to solve it [gnome.org], to everyone's satisfaction [gnome.org]. Nothing to see here anymore, move along.
