Heh, I sorta prefer the LO interface to the old OOo one - and older versions of Office to newer ones too.
Woaaaah! Just figured out how grid actually works on Unity - OK, it's making me feel a whole lot less grumpy about it. For anyone else who can't do a thing with their wretched multi-panes in Unity, click on 'grid' in the compiz settings manager (rather than trying to disable it, oops!) and you can control what windows do as you drag them around the desktop so they don't just do their own baffling thing and drive you nuts. With multiple panes in a single app, it seems you can make them (or any windows) jump around to different locations on the screen - or tile them two-up with a split-screen effect - hold ctrl+alt then hit the various keys on your number pad to see what they do. Drag them away from the edge and they spring back to original shape/place. Sorry for boring ppl who've already figured out Unity and I'll stop with the stream of consciousness now ;) - just thought lots of ppl are having bother with multiple panes on Unity and grid seems to be the key to getting them under control. I seem to have menus on non-max nautilus panes some of the time and not others - go figure! And now nautilus keeps whinging it can't mount an nfs share - which is already mounted so why was it even *trying* to mount it, eh? This is gonna be a long haul . . .
