When you have a window that is not fullscreen you can see its menu (if
it has focus) if you mouse over the panel. There is discussion abou

aaarrgghh! Just tried to stop it from deciding to fullscreen windows
without consulting me - unticked 'grid' in the compiz settings and Unity
promptly crashed the top bar taking all menus with it. Rebooted
(couldn't log out), and Unity just spontaneously logged me out again as

This is what's getting me. Gnome used to (quite rightly) get told off
for not being configurable. In the past few years it's come on leaps and
bounds and is now rather useful. I rea

Unity is a /lot/ more like traditional GNOME 2 than GNOME 3 is.
Put in the time to learn Unity. It is a pretty decent GUI, honestly. I

There seems to be a lot of Unity bashing going on. Just for balance, I
have been getting on fine. I accept that it is still very young and

I'm intrigued by this. I've so far found that Unity breaks far fewer of
my assumptions and habits than Gnome3 does. The biggie with Gnome

How about a work-around, don't run Unity so don't know if possible and can't
test. Can you attach a script to a button on the Unity bar? If so, install
xdotool and put this script on the bar:
#!/bin/bash
xdotool search --class gimp windowactivate
Definitely works from a terminal though and from

No, alt+tab does not allow navigation between the gimp's application
windows. It only makes available the main window (for me in Unity-2D
at least).

Just when I thought I'd got used to unity & I can probably live with it I tried
using the gimp.
Previously with this I have the main window maximised & set up toolbox & layers
as normal windows hidden behind the main one.
In gnome2 it's easy to get at these other two windows from the bottom pan
