Ah, you touch on my sensitivities! From our perspective, Unity is "upstream", it's design and lead implementation is completely independent of the Ubuntu team. It's also as much part of GNOME as something like Zeitgeist and lots of other projects that have started out in the wild and moved to the center over time. We would like Gnomers to think of it as a proud contribution from Canonical, and we're a little hurt when people suggest otherwise. So, tread softly when you tread on folks dreams, even if inadvertently ;-) > Let's not forget other desktop environments too.

Indeed, I would expect FF to inspect its environment and use the right tools as available, and we'd support making that easy for the Unity case. Mark
