Right now, it seems like SchoolTool is picked up by the Services Setting tool, but not SchoolTool-2008, which is what you really need (I think...). I haven't been able to find anything about how Services Settings builds its list of services, though.

Sorry, I'm just not able to handle this bug.

I'm totally out of my depth when doing GUI stuff. I can't even code Javascript...

The Services Setting tool presumably automagically picks up what services to add to its list. Either that or each service registers itself with GNOME somehow. We just have to figure out how it works. I'm not even sure who to ask: Ubuntu, GNOME, etc. Probably I should file an Ubuntu bug.

Tom, I think it's worth considering bumping importance for this way up for Maverick.

No idea how starting/stopping SchoolTool fits in Ubuntu Control Panel. It is a server, manage it like other servers.

  $ service start schooltool
