Simplified About Me per specification

[Greg A]

Binary package hint: indicator-me

Per the original Me Menu specification [1] the Ubuntu About Me dialogue should be simplified. This would help fix bug 475443 too.

gnome-about-me is in gnome-control-center, not gnome-system-tools. But note this tool is going to be deprecated in favor of accounts-dialog, so I don't think it makes sense to work on gnome-about-me currently.

See https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/desktop-maverick-user-accounts-dialog
and http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/UserAccountDialog

Thank you for the reply. Do you know if that blueprint is going to be worked on on this cycle (e.g. for Natty)? It seems a shame if it will not be.

No idea, you should ask Chris Coulson or Sebastien Bacher on #ubuntu-desktop about that. But of course replacing the users administration tool shouldn't create any regressions, so better be on the safe side and wait until all issues are solved.
