** Description changed:
When System Settings is in overview mode, showing all of the available
panels, the All Settings button is present but nothing happens when it's
clicked. A button that does nothing when clicked is frustrating and it's
a very prominent button.
I'd like to propose that we hide the All Settings button when in the
overview mode, which is what upstream does.
Another useless button is the current panel name. As in the Appearance
button in All Settings>Appearance. This might be improved by showing the
button pressed in like Nautilus does.
The more I think about it, the more I think GNOME 3.4's symbolic view
grid button does pretty good at conveying the same information in far
less space, especially as there are only 2 levels in the hierarchy (the
overview and the individual panel view).
See bug 933482 where System Setting's breadcrumb design was proposed.
