Re: [Ayatana] Awesome critical review of Unity

[Biturica <biturica@xxxxxxxxx>]

Just disabling the global menu doesn't fix all the issues of Unity. 
Doesn't do anything about the new dock for example.

I've already mentioned on this list the things that broke for me in 
Ubuntu Classic -- but Ubuntu Classic is irrelevant anyway as it will be 
gone by October.

The old shell is going away, regardless of what is default. The current 
iteration of the "the old shell" breaks things. It's a no-win for those 
who do not want Unity or Gnome Shell. Hopefully RHEL or someone will 
pick up that "old shell" ball.
