Hi all,

this is my first message on this list, please be kind if what i report
has already been discussed millions times, I dig a bit the archives
though.


I opened a bug which i thought would be quickly flagged as duplicate
although I couldn't find other bug describing my feelings :


The title is ""Unity in 12.04 is impossible to use by a newbie because
of the empty Dash at start""

https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity/+bug/962265/


I sell laptops and desktops with ubuntu preinstalled to "classic
users" who seek with my offers a good start in a world away from
Windows (mainly), from the start of Unity , it was difficult to use it
because they didn't understand where to find the applications and
where they were stored.

But in 12.04 it seems a choice was done which will make their
understanding even more difficult :  Where a user click on the ubuntu
Icon in order to launch an application, an empty page is presented,
it's not obvious for him that he needs to click with his mouse on the
icons on the bottom to find his applications.


I know my bug is incomplete as I didn't draw a sketch to propose
something new for this welcome dash, but I would like before to have
your feelings on this :

- Do you plan to release 12.04 with this empety dash ?
- don't you think the categories of apps ( or all the apps ) should be
accessible in fewer clicks for newbies ?


Thanks for making the word better with ubuntu !
