In case you don't have compositing at all, Cairo-Dock can run with fake transparency; however, including a third-party application just to handle a fallback seems a bit heavy, especially since the gnome-panel is already included in Ubuntu/Gnome. 2010/12/13 Roth Robert > Metacity does have compos

Metacity does have compositing, and I've read that Docky works with metacity compositing. That could do it, if we need a dock-like interface imitating Unity, but I also think that the classic two gnome-panels is a really good fallback, for legacy users and users who don't like nor the Gnome Shell n

I don't think it is something that needs to be done now either. I think the ideal time to revisit the idea is probably during the next LTS cycle. That gives Unity time time to mature and become part of the brand identity. If it takes hold, then we should definitely revisit the issue for such an imp

2010-12-13 Thread Mark Curtis
Unity requires 3d compositing. For those without adequate hardware, it falls back to the GNOME Panels. While I understand for this cycle effort should be put into getting Unity functioning, I think for the future a better fallback should be created. For one the GNOME Panels won't be supported
