I've now been using Unity both at home and at work for the last several days.
In general, everything works out fine, and I generally like it. I like the dash, I like having icons in the dock, though the lack of good ways of customizing the launchers there is not too elegant. Needless to say it's a little rough around the edges, and that's OK. It's a huge leap forward anyway. I've still encountered a few problems which are potentially more bothersome than roughness around the edges: I have a terminal launcher in the dock, inherited from my Gnome launcher in 10.10. If I want to start two instances of the terminal, first I click the terminal icon in the dock. Fine and good, it brings up the terminal. Now I want to bring up another terminal. I click the icon in the dock, and it brings the first terminal in focus. I click again, with the same result. To start a terminal I can hit CTRL+ALT+T, but honestly, I think clicking twice in the dock should achieve the same result. The new "thin" scrollbar is dangerous in some applications, notably in Evolution. I'm thinking especially of the scroll bar between my mail folders on the left and the list of emails on the right. If mouse control slips just a little, all of a sudden you have grabbed and moved a folder without seeing where it went! Once you've erroneously grabbed a folder, Evolution can become unresponsive (I have 4GB of RAM and a quad core CPU, but I also have many emails) and it's impossible to let go of it again until you've moved it somewhere. This is not only annoying, it's potentially damaging, especially for new users. The global menu does not seem to work in Gvim. I've subscribed to a bug which I think is related to this. I know everything can be done with direct commands in vim, but I've made Gvims menu part of my workflow, so it's bothersome that it's suddenly gone. thanks otherwise and keep up the good work, Carsten http://www.modspil.dk/ https://launchpad.net/~agger _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ayatana Post to : ayatana@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ayatana More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
