No, not at all! :P

I've tried selecting 2d and/ or 3d a couple of times but didn't notice any
difference at all. So perhaps when I choose 3d it reverts to 2d anyway
because my computer doesn't support 3d or something?


can you run a ps afx |

Would appear I'm using 2d:

 3085 ?        Sl     6:33      \_ unity-2d-launcher
 3086 ?        Sl     6:08      \_ unity-2d-panel
 3255 ?        Sl     5:39 /usr/lib/unity/unity-panel-service

Title:
  doesn't reuse running instance when started from nautilus

Status in Light-Weight Text Editor for Gnome:
  New
Status in “gedit” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gedit

  Normally, gedit is a single instance application, meaning that it is
  started only once, and subsequent invocations are merged into the
  already running instance.

  When starting gedit from unity (either via dash, or via Alt+F2) and
  later from somewhere else (I tested opening a file in nautilus,
  opening a file from the archive manager, and running from the command
  line), gedit is started a second time.
