not sure if Anton32828 got this figured out yet but he said, 1) No ability to clear document history within the applications. This is a function of the Gnome Places menu which isn't available in UNR. and I found out a shortcut... press Alt + F1 to display a normal drop-down that includes Places

Swajime, I don't know if this will get back the UNR desktop back, but you can get the default desktop by renaming the directories .gnome and .gnome2 as .gnome_old and .gnome2_old Then, log back into your desktop, and gnome will use the built-in defaults to make the .gnome and .gnome2

Anton32828, I agree with you about the Clear Documents feature. It would be nice to be able to better handle that. As for the problem with windows that are too big, there is a non-obvious feature that can help. If you hold down Alt, then you can click and drag anywhere in a window to move it!

Ah, found it. Report #443298 talks about them removing the package because of stability issues. 10.04 will come with the ability to choose a UNR or regular session at the login screen as opposed to doing the switch live. In the meantime, however, you still need a way to go to the regular
