Exhibit A: Notification doesn't have translations. It is also not persistently discoverable. Exhibit B: The button/extension inherits translation, it is persistently discoverable. Exhibit C: Autostarting the installer on a LiveCD is user hostile, totally untenable. Put such a Live CD into a flaming bag of dog crap, with optional sparklers for further effect. Exhibit D: A regular window will be closed by the user, and now where is the installer? Not persistently discoverable. Exhibit E: The basic shell design is asinine and indefensible. A Desktop folder, contents of which do not show up on the desktop. That's what started this problem, for which there was previously quite a universally accepted means of persistent discoverability of the installer icon. If not the button, I'd propose an enduring hack to restore sensible desktop icon functionality and my right to a cluttered desktop.
