The HUD is really helpful in very complicated menus, or when you have lots of plugins (Audacity with a myriad of plugins installed for another example) you tap Alt and start typing and it will find whatever you type :)
This issue may resolve once Unity is fully migrated to Qt, anyhow. I really enjoy the interface of Unity. I use menu based DE/WM as well (LXDE/XFCE/JWM) but I always miss being able to find any program (or file) by hitting a few keys, instead of looking through menus trying to remember is it accessory, or preference or system... hmm... is it in education or accessory? That said, I do not like where Gnome is going (removing all the menus, removing functionality from the menus, making the desktop a tablet UI) and I know people feel that way about Unity and like Gnome for reasons like the reasons I like Unity. I like MATE, but Cinnamon is something that I have still had a hard time liking. Anyhow... sorry for the tangent.. I suppose I can add a unity only quicklist that allows the user to use "experimental HUD support" so the user will know that there will be some odd things that might happen (like dragging the close buttons around). -- Regards ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Learn Graph Databases - Download FREE O'Reilly Book "Graph Databases" is the definitive new guide to graph databases and their applications.
