Ahh okay !! I stand corrected (or educated... ;-) ) . I see the problem with unity then if it is going to be forced onto any current and future ubuntu releases. Hmm, I have been looking at alternatives myself for a while. Mainly a distro that is friendly for development and network admin. All linux distros are obviously good but I may have been getting a bit lazy with ubuntu and it's ease of gui tools. Need to learn the 'real' linux now and brush up more on my cli skills.

After that GNOME 2 support is discontinued. A longer-term fix is holding/reversion to 10.04 LTS - until April 2013 :-) Will be learning more Unity technique meanwhile - "It is inevitable, Mr Anderson" (Matrix 1).
