GNOME-Shell Extension: YaST (item in) Status Menu

This is just a short follow-up to my older blogpost Adding YaST menuitem to GNOME 3 status menu. Few minutes ago Andy asked me if I could create a proper gnome-shell extension so I went ahead and did it. :-)

I’ve set a git repo on Gitorious and also built the package in my home:prusnak project. If there will be interest from our GNOME Team, I will create a submit request to some GNOME devel project and Factory as well.

If you don’t know this yet, you have to install the gnome-shell-extension-yast-status-menu and then either logout and login or press Alt+F2 and type “r” (which will restart gnome-shell).

Enjoy! :-)

    Great idea, Pavol. The package is really useful because I don’t have to dive into the system and everything works and I can acess easily YaST from the status menu.

    It doesn’t work if you have installed Alternative Status Menu Extension. Please work on it.

    Actually this is the problem of Alternative Status Menu Extension which removes all status menu items and then re-adds them. There’s no mechanism which allows to define the order of extensions loading yet and to be honest all extensions should try to behave so defining such order should not be necessary. Please report this misbehaviour to Alternative Status Menu Extension authors.
