2010-03-28 21:24:35 Matthew Paul Thomas description Ubuntu Lucid, all updates installed 1. Install something in Ubuntu Software Center. 2. Click on the key icon that appears in the panel. What happens: The key is a menu containing one item, "Drop all elevated privileges". I don't understand this, and I therefore arrogantly assume that most people won't understand it either. :-) Does it do anything useful? If so, it should be reworded to express its usefulness. If not, it should be removed. Ubuntu Lucid, all updates installed 1. Install something in Ubuntu Software Center. 2. Click on the key icon that appears in the panel.
