The pinned (favourite) apps appear in the Dash (the bottom panel),
instead of appearing in the main app grid.
This file is a Debian-specific override for upstream's default list.
The changes compared with previous versions in Debian:
- Remove Rhythmbox. We no longer install a music player by default or
have a recommended music player for GNOME; users are welcome to
install Amberol, GNOME Music, Lollypop, Rhythmbox or any other
music player of their choice.
- Remove LibreOffice Writer. Pinned apps don't appear in the app grid,
and it seems inconsistent to have Writer in the Dash (and not the
app grid) but every other LibreOffice component such as Calc in the
app grid (not the dash).
- Add gnome-text-editor, matching upstream.
- Add gnome-calculator, matching upstream.
The changes compared with upstream:
- Replace Epiphany (GNOME Web) with Firefox ESR, matching what we
install by default
- Replace GNOME Calendar with Evolution
- Add Yelp (GNOME Help)
This doesn't necessarily have any effect for existing users: if the user
has pinned or unpinned an app at least once, once, then their list of
pinned apps is saved and will be unaffected by this override. Please
test with a completely new installation, a newly-created test user, or a
user with an empty home directory.
