Thanks for the answer, Sebastien. You don't have to sorry, it's a
pleassure to speak with you. What I'm trying to tell is that ubuntu and
gnome developers don't know who or where those 1% people can be. Maybe
I'm the 1% of a lot of removed options, I gave you those examples for a
reason.

- There's a computer room in my University with old PC's that don't work
fine with Unity, I'm pretty sure that I've tested automatically login in
Unity-2D and didn't work, it always started in Unity, so I believe that
I have to edit a file to solve this problem. However I've just tested in
my own PC and you're right, the automatic login respects the last
desktop udes. Maybe I did something wrong when I tested, maybe a recent
update changed this. It doesn't matter, the main thing is that it works.
Thank you so much for your comment, I have one less problem for the new
course :-D

- Thanks for the link of the groups. In the last course I propose an
exercise: I have a wife and a child, everyone with their own account,
and I want that my wife can read my files but my child not. In 11.04
there was an easy way to solve using User and Groups icon, now I need to
use a console. Not a problem for me, but bad for new users.

- For the power button, I use my computer as a DLNA server to watch in
my TV movies that I have in my hard disk. When I finish to watch them I
used to

(in Ubuntu 11.04)
1-Press power button and go to bed

However now I have to

(in plain ubuntu 11.10)
1- Turn monitor on and wait a few seconds until it responds
2- Enter my password (because screen is locked)
3- Press power button or click on power off upper-right menu
4- Select power off and go to bed

I'm afraid that tweak tools I've used (gconf-editor, Ubuntu Tweak) only
allow to remove the confirmation of menu in the upper-right corner, not
the power off button, so I can only remove a step

(in ubuntu 11.10 with tweaks)
1- Turn monitor on and wait a few seconds until it responds
2- Enter my password (because screen is locked)
3- Click on power-off and go to bed

I had to apply a different approach to have in ubuntu 11.10 the same
behaviour than in 11.04. I wrote in http://askubuntu.com/questions/66723
/how-do-i-set-the-power-button-to-shutdown-instantly-instead-of-
opening-a-dialog/84984#84984 But this solution is not for a new user.

Title:
  Can no longer "shutdown" when laptop lid closes

Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  1. Ubuntu 11.10 kernel 3.0.0-12-generic #20-Ubuntu SMP Fri Oct 7 14:50:42 UTC 2011 i686
  2. software-center 5.0.1.5 / power settings menu / gnome-power-manager 3.2.0-0ubuntu1
  3.expected to keep this option I had configured in Natty after upgrading to Oneiric
  4. after migrating to Oneiric, this feature (closing the lid shuts down the laptop) disappeared. There is no way to set it again inside the power settings menu of the software center, as this option does not appear anymore under the settings for the lid options. Nor is it possible to set it again via gconf-editor: apps-->gnome-power-manager-->buttons and set lid_ac and/or lid_battery to "shutdown" (when changed to "shutdown", it does not change the power manager behavior when the lid closes)-
