@nick-xrva A GNOME2-like desktop *is* available in Oneiric, if you install the package "gnome-panel". This comes from the GNOME project, as they're also trying to give users an easier transition. However, from what I've seen so far, this "GNOME Classic" is very limited. The panels only mimic the GNOME2 look, and do not support panel applets.
So, if you install that and "gnome-shell" in Oneiric, you have the following login options: * Unity * Unity 2D * GNOME Shell * GNOME "Classic" I think 4 options for is not bad! And this list is just for GNOME; you also have KDE, XFCE and LXDE desktops, which are also fully supported and easy to install in Ubuntu. All the people threatening to switch to other operating systems because of a few limitations in Unity really need to chill. I should note that both "gnome-shell" and "gnome-panel" are very small installations! Since Ubuntu already is based on GNOME 3, the vast majority of the desktop is already there. The desktop shell is really a very small component compared to other parts of the desktop. Still, it's obviously very important and emotional. ;) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/668415 Title: Movement of Unity launcher To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/null/+bug/668415/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
