[Bug 886620] Re: System Monitor is too complex for everyday users.

 

Thanks for rtaking the time to improve Ubuntu. 
It would be the best to have one problem in each bug report, as it is hard to track multiple issues reported in one launchpad bug. The missing applications bug problem is reported in upstream GNOME as bug 143238 [1].

Title:
  System Monitor is too complex for everyday users.

Status in The Gnome Panel Applets:
  New
Status in GNOME Control Center:
  New
Status in The GNOME System Monitor:
  Unknown
Status in “gnome-system-monitor” package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  There are no common names for applications, there is no default
  popular keyboard shortcut to access the System Monitor (like
  Ctrl+Alt+Del or Command+Opt+Esc), and there is no tab for applications
  that the user actually knows are running (like open windows). We need
  to look at Microsoft's task manager for insight on how to make the
  System Monitor both for Ubuntu's target audience (everyday people) and
  big tech-junkies like myself. This can be a security risk, especially
  for people new to GNU/Linux and Ubuntu, as a serious problem could be
  running without the user able to stop it easily.
