Updated mintDesktop to allow button layout switching

[exploder]

ikey, that is pretty cool!

ikey,

Would it make any sense to take some of what I've done with my keyboard/mouse settings app and add it to this?

[Kendall]

It's not the best coded app in existence, but it's effective. I haven't translated it just yet as xgettext hasn't been playing nice, also I was going to move everything into HBox's and VBox's instead of the fixed layout but I haven't made the time for it.

ikey, you are a genius! I wonder if it's possible to add the gdm changing utility I saw on gnome-look? Just throwing that idea out there because people are always asking how to change the background of the gdm.

[Kendall]

One app to rule them all...

[Kendall]

Personally I think it would make more sense to consolidate all the features of the default Gnome settings apps and get rid of them altogether, but that's just my opinion. I think the only thing in my app that isn't redundant functionality is the setting for the touchpad. Anyway, have fun with it and I hope Clem likes it well enough to include in Mint 9.

[beefstu]

Ikey, you're doing a brilliant job!

I think the general consensus has been to eliminate the replication in the app, so the
Fonts, Style and Wallpaper tabs will most likely be removed, see what happens..

Maybe Clem could think about using this app to replace the Appearance app to keep all things like that together? I know you wanted to avoid it getting bloated but all it would need is some theme settings and it would have all the same functionality in a much more 'mint-like' way.

Just my thoughts
