capplets: remember last tab used

[Sergey Udaltsov]

Hi folks

Using multi-tab capplets, I constantly find slightly inconvenient
choosing the same tab again and again. Would it make sense to remember
the last state of the capplet - at least, the last tab the user was
working with?

Cheers,

Sergey

I guess it makes sense, yes, and shouldn't be hard to do for all
capplets at once

The capplets to be updated ("remember last tab used")

- appearance
- default apps
- keyboard
- mouse
- network (?)

IMHO it does not make sense to update about-me.

The tab number will be saved into gconf entry
/apps/control-center/<capplet name>/last_open_tab

Any comments/objections?

I'm curious. Does that really make a difference? I mean, outside of
development work I open capplets... about once or twice a month. And
it's unlikely I want to change the same thing again, then. You must be
using stuff in a vastly different manner.

Well, this is definitely not a huge improvement. It is just when a
person is playing with 1-2 particular settings, he must be interested
in getting there faster. Would it make things worse for all other
people?

Sometime I am doing that by mistake. Then I feel slightly annoyed
because I have to get to the same tab again.

PS I guess, you pressed Reply instead of Reply To All by mistake?
