Title:
  Should Metacity really show up as a program in Software Center instead
  of a system package?

Status in “metacity” package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  software-center 2.0.5, Ubuntu 10.04
  software-center 4.0.4, Ubuntu 11.04

  1. Navigate to "Installed Software".
  2. Scroll down to M.

  What happens: Metacity shows up by default.

  Any user can be looking through the installed software and think,
  "Metacity? GTK window manager? What's that? I don't need that!" and
  remove it, which I'm sure would cause some serious problems if that
  user decided to turn off visual effects or never had them on in the
  first place. Also, Metacity seems more like a system package than a
  program.

  What should happen: Metacity should be hidden by default, not
  appearing unless you choose "Show ____ technical items".

  This can be implemented by removing Metacity's desktop file.

  [This bug report also previously mentioned capitalization of "Get
  Software" and "Installed Software", which is mostly obviated by the
  5.0 redesign.]
