[Ayatana] Unity, menus and large screens

2011-05-08 Thread James Jenner
G'day Guys, I decided to join the Ayatana mailing list so I could help provide feedback or ideas regarding Unity. Firstly I should say that while I was initially surprised (possibly shocked) by the changes, I quickly grew to enjoy them. However, unfortunately there is one issue, which may be spe

[Ayatana] don't allow windows to show up in 2 workspaces

2011-05-08 Thread huffylinux
