Dear Canonical people,
First of all thank you for creating Ubuntu 11.04 and your continuous effort in this. I will surely keep using and stay fan of Ubuntu. However, I was not pleased with Unity as my desktop manager. I am using a wacom tablet to prevent me getting RSI. Starting with the updated version I could not use it properly. It was working for a right handed person - I am left handed. I had to search for the setting of preferences - and could not find it. I could not see which applications I had opened, because the status bar at the bottom was open. I am not someone who wants to use an icon bar like that and am using synaptic package manager more then the Ubuntu Software Center. I was deeply annoyed to say the least. Luckily I found out quickly how to revert to the 'Classical' theme. I call it from now on the usefull theme. I call this replacement of theme without any warning a severe user guidance bug. Not providing to find any way to preferences or system administation staggering amazing. I am an used to be software engineer. The first thing I want to learn from any application is: 1. how to start it, and 2. how to end it. I think you should introduce this in a very visible fashion, next to a tutorial how to use Unity. Now I was just surprised and could not find my way home on my own computer. If you would let people to use Unity, please add a tutorial how to use it, how to end it and how to configure it. These kind of changes are a matter of time and patience, if every user starts with annoyance, then is that not a good start. Reminds me of 'veni vidi vista', which translates more or less to 'I came, I saw, visited it'. :-) With kind regards, Loek
