I wouldn't recommend compiz-settings-manager, or at least without backups first. Seems like ubuntu crippled compiz in many strange ways for unity, so many of the previously working settings result in an unusable desktop. I've heard that unity has caused some market share losses for ubuntu, I hope they smarten up and improve (or ditch) unity significantly. Seems great for a 7-10" netbook type system, but far from optimal if you have a large or *gasp* dual monitor setup. ___ vox-tech mailing list vox-tech@lists.lugod.org http://lists.lugod.org/mailman/listinfo/vox-tech

Re: [vox-tech] menu for ubuntu 11.04
Excellent. It's nice to be able to go back to an old way of doing things. Back to Unity.

At the time you have your login screen, before you enter your password, at the bottom select "Classic" for the style. That will give you back the Gnome manager.

On login, select ubuntu-classic (aka.
