In OSGeoLive, there are 3 GeoNetwork icons, when I believe there should
only be 2.

Icon 1: "GeoNetwork": Opens up the GeoNetwork page at
http://localhost:8880/geonetwork/srv/en/main.home

Icon 2: "Start GeoNetwork"

Icon 3: "Stop GeoNetwork"

I suggest that Icon 1 should be removed, as new users will try clicking
the icon, and think that GeoNetwork is broken when a web page is opened up
with an "Unable to connect" page.

Comment(by camerons):

PS. The "Start GeoNetwork" Icon would also need to:
1. Only start geonetwork if it is not already running. (watch out for case
where user starts multiple times)

2. Open a browser at the geonetwork home page.

Comment(by hamish):

perhaps simply rename icon Name=s to
  * Launch GeoNetwork
  * Run GeoNetwork
  * Stop GeoNetwork

or just rename "start gn" to "power up gn" or so ?

??

currently 'start geonetwork' only starts it in the background, it does not
launch the browser when it's done.

also the please wait fuse could use a more granular timestep.
