I didn't change the xserver, I'm using a remote connection which uses it's own local xserver. For example, I run x2go, which runs a scaled- back ximing xserver *locally*, however all this means is that all x information is forwarded to this local xserver. I don't have to install gnome, unity, etc locally as this all exists on the server. So I am dependent on the window manager/desktop manager configurations on the server. Said another way, there is no setting I can change locally which would affect bordersize or dekstop type (ubutu-3d/2d), all this must be done on the server (a 100% standard 12.04 install).
