Added to the Tips and Tricks section of the Release Notes. - HoboPrimate 00:19, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

Not a new feature; this has been in the UI since the very beginning. Not very discoverable, though, I guess. CScott 01:54, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

Can we make this page look more like the GNOME release notes? CScott 01:54, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

Step8 says: "(it's ok to leave the home view because when you go back the options should still be there)" The "should" is a problem. What if there's a power failure, wifi outage or the person cancels the install and the options are no longer there? What should they do? (That is, user closed the software update windows, no longer has menu, control panel, browse or terminal icons visible.) Since the old "frame" and applications are gone, there is no terminal icon... And since the user has never launched Control Panel before, it may take some fumbling to find it (probably only if user goes to shut down by hovering over the XO icon, which is what I did.) 75.197.79.6
