The fact that you manage all of your windows from one bar. I often find myself working with over 30 windows open, and managing them all from an oversized scrolling image list it's not helpful at all. It's much more logical to have one window list for each screen. >> and the horrific memory leaks a strong cause for a lot of >> people not using it. >> The icon-based window management works great for >> home users until you open more than one of something, then you have no >> idea what is what.

I have indeed tried Unity 2D, it was better but after a while I still experienced massive memory consumption from the X Server. -- Regards, Kris Douglas. www.krisd.eu -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UKTeam/
