While I like keeping the view on the system clean and easy to understand hiding the kerneloops-applet in Startup Applications may be confusing for users and disabling the kerneloops-applet would not break their system. I just committed a change to the packaging repository to make kerneloops (the daemon) only Suggest kerneloops-applet thus the applet won't be standard part of the Ubuntu systems. Hiding an applet which is not standard part of the system seems confusing and I think it would be better to keep it displayed. What do you think?
