I don't feel that comfortable with the UNR which is why I wanted to switch to Gnome. What I have done so far, is change to Gnome from the login prompt so now it looks a little bit better.
How do I remove the UNR as a choice in the login prompt? I checked the Ubuntu Wiki <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UNR> and it says I can use this gconftool-2 --type bool --set /apps/nautilus/preferences/show_desktop false Will this work?
