Why not just use classic mode instead?
Easy.
Cause Ubuntu has swept the Linux world, and become a major player.
Does one have to swim against the current always?
Why do you think Mark Shuttleworth said in an interview at:
http://www.linuxtoday.com/news_story.php3?ltsn=2011-05-10-005-39-NW-AP
that Ubuntu have the goal of 200 m users? Why would the director/owner
of a company
have such a huge goal? Clearly - he is no "starry eyed" fool. Fools like
that never make it
to the head of a major company. So then, "What was he thinking of?"....
My view is that a contributing factor is the presence of a reasonable UI
- so we better get
used to it and see how it works...
Cheers,
Derek.

Ok, on the advice of 1/7 of tonight's workshop, have googled up the
solution to my second-most bugbear with Unity:
Howto "configure the number of desktop (virtual workspace) you want. You
can specify the columns and rows. The default is 2 columns by 2 rows"
http://maketecheasier.com/adjust-ubuntu-unitys-settings-easily-with-gunity/2011/05/30
That is, one needs to install:
CompizConfig Setting Manager http://wiki.compiz.org/CCSM
- Of course Synaptic hasn't heard of it.. :-|
Here is a peek at http://www.gnome.org/gnome-3/
- So we are sure a heck stuck with this Unity gizme - better get used to
it
