Some people wonder why I sometimes say Ubuntu is half-finished. This and
the sorry state of gpointing-device-settings is the best proof.

Actually, I'm just discouraging people to install Ubuntu on Apple
hardware just for this. It's too much of a hassle to configure the

I'm having issue with my touchpad on a Macbook 1,1. After much

Because the owner of the playground believes it's more aesthetically

Nice, but the menus keep vanishing. This doesn't really solve one of the
most controversial issues. There must be a way to have the menus
permanently visible. Many (myself included) would rather have the window
title vanishing, making it visible when hovering over windows buttons or

I'm confused.
This bug can only be solved in future versions of Unity. Since current is

where Compiz won't be used at all. So unless Unity 7 introduces the desired
behavior in 13.10, which seems unlikely (since nobody has e
