[Bug 668415] Re: Movement of Unity launcher

2013-01-16 Thread jim davies
Add me to the many who want this bug fixed.

Putting personal design goals or vision over user choice appears
childish  counterproductive. Maximizing user choice should always be
Job One for ANY computer OS, open-source or otherwise. Concerns over
difficulty for left-handed users or wasted screen-space on reorienting
tablets alone should make fixing this a no-brainer - this kind of
irrational inflexibility is exactly what drives new users away, either
back to Mac/Windows or to alternative Linux systems.

[Bug 878198] Re: Difficult to grab window borders

2013-01-09 Thread jim davies
*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 160311 ***
https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/160311

Fresh 12.04 LTS install, freshly updated,  it's not difficult to resize
- it's totally impossible. Zero pixels activate the corner icon or
height-width resizing icon. Tweaking compiz does nothing. Noticed the
problem with eog but it's universal -  changing themes doesn't help
either.

Xfce gets it right: useable borders  a corner grabber. Surely this can
be done, with or without a visible border.

Whoever set the status as low is dreaming: this kind of massive - 
needless - headache over very basic  vital desktop activity is exactly
the kind of absurdity that leads people to uninstall Ubuntu  never
return. After more than a year there's still no fix yet? This needs to
be a top priority to fix if you expect new users to stick with this OS.
