I have a netbook with the typical netbook screen and the depth / width 
limitations.  Even with assigning the optioni to have the favourites bar to 
disappear, the software assumes the screen is physically larger.  I eventually 
had to dump ubuntu on this device and install Gnome3 via Fedora.  I am 
delighted with Gnome3 and two tweaks. One shows the menu next to the favourites 
bar, where one can click submenu and then menu item or one can do the full 
screen icon display.  And the screen is displayed correctly, without overshoot.
I get 5 hours of battery life with Fedora. I can't recall what it was with 
UBUNTU, as I don't plan to go back on this device to 12.4.

Interesting,

I'm using Unity since the 12.04 release. I resisted with Gnome 2 in 11.04 and 
didn't upgrade to 11.10. And do you know? I found it very pleasant to use, in 
my 27" single monitor workstation.



Mark was right in that.
