Mandrake Control Center / KDE Control Center
by Crawling Mushroom Syndicate on Tue 21st Oct 2003 18:53 UTC

I think renaming "Mandrake Control Center" to "Configure My Computer" and renaming "KDE Control Center" to "Configure My Desktop" is probably the most counter-intuitive change I have ever encountered in a point release. Especially since you can right-click on the desktop and choose "Configure Desktop" and get something completely different than the other two! I think this is going to be very confusing for new users. The difference between "Configure My Computer" "Configure My Desktop" and "Configure Desktop" is not at all obvious even to me.
