Bug Description

Moved remaining issues from https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/desktop-gnome-3-8
Perhaps these should be split into separate bugs:

* Consider simplifying the Ubuntu logo patch so that we don't have to wait on Design every cycle and to simplify backporting. LP: #1181442 The Ubuntu logo patch needs to be redone since upstream is now using the new gtk3 resource file
* symbol conflicts between gnome datetime panel and libtimezonemap (LP: #1187981)
* modemmanager needs to be updated. LP: #1123302
* input-sources-text-entry.patch - The indicator-keyboard patchto the Region panel need to be ported to the new design.
* There's support for packagekit to install new language packs but not to uninstall them (since apparently PackageKit can't handle this)
* Do we really need sound_nua_panel.patch? These changes should be handled upstream...
* Now named "Settings" Should we revert name to "System Settings" ?
* 59_install_gcm_components_on_demand.patch: Would need to be rewritten if needed but only saves about 5MB

* We should probably just hide the new Sharing panel in Unity for now.
  - The Sharing panel is useful although it was designed for a Red Hat style of handling services. With that model, services are not automatically run when installed, which allows those distros to include openssh-server by default. It's assumed that distros will install all the useful services by default.
- By default Ubuntu will get Screen Sharing (basically replacing vino-preferences) and Bluetooth Sharing (for computers with bluetooth)
- If someone adds PackageKit integration, perhaps Media Sharing (rygel) and Remote Login (openssh-server) could be enabled.
- However, the code currently requires systemd for the ssh "Remote Login" panel.
- Personal File Sharing is the frontend for gnome-user-share now but since it's just webdav sharing, this section is unusable in Ubuntu where gnome-user-share doesn't come with apache2. We could patch to hide this section.

Moving the Sharing panel points to another bug would facilitate conversation regarding those potential changes separately from the rest of the issues. As I feel that to be the change that might spark the most discussion. The rest are smaller and mostly upgrades, so I feel the rest would probably be fine as one bug.
