I submitted a bug report to oneiric beta this morning due to the fact that i was unable to switch the Unity desktop off and revert to standard gnome. I assumed that it was an oversight. Apparently not. This is the answer I recieved: v v v v v from Omer Akram om2...@ubuntu.com via canonical.com sender-time Sent at 11:10 AM (UTC).

** Changed in: unity (Ubuntu) Status: New => Invalid ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ My mood is now swinging between anger, frustration, and dismay. Until this morning, I was under the impression that Canonical was to a large extent user driven. Clearly, they have a different impression than I about the popularity of Unity. Everyone I heard from thought it was an interesting experiment which might someday grow into a usable session manager. Most disliked it, and I know of no one who actually USED the damned thing. Either they elected to forgo the upgrade to Natty, or, like me, simply switched to "Classic". A few actually re-loaded 10.10 or switched distro versions. This reply makes it sound like changing my distro choice is the only long-term solution if I desire to glance at the top of my screen and see how my network is running. Cannot Canonical see that Unity is a giant step backwards in usability? What's wrong with letting me choose? Yes, I tried installing gnome-session-fallback. There was no change in the operation of my machine. Perhaps it would do something if only I knew how to turn it on? Or am I completely out to lunch and everyone but me thinks Unity is the cat's meow? -- Vernon -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list Ubuntu-devel-discuss@lists.ubuntu.com Modify settings or unsubscribe at: https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-devel-discuss
