Public bug reported:
I just upgraded my travel laptop from Natty w/ Unity to Oneiric and I am
right disappointed, sadly. This system is one I use for travel to
various offices as well as events like Sprints and UDS. After
installing Natty, I had removed most of the default launchers because I
don't use them. I had created launchers in the dock for Thunderbird,
Chrome, Mumble and a few other very commonly used apps for me.
After updating to Oneiric, the panel has been reset to the Oneiric
default, and all my launchers are gone. So I must now recreate all the
launchers I had created in Natty.
This is one of those things I should not have to do. Some changes I
expect between Natty and Oneiric, but changing something like the
launchers in the dock I did NOT expect to happen.
Then again, this is the second time I've upgraded from one release to
the next and had to re-create custom settings. In Maverick -> Natty
upgrade, I lost my custom colors, font sizes and other display options.
Now in Natty -> Oneiric, I've lost my custom background, lost my custom
launchers and so on.
Upgrading to Oneiric should NOT destroy customizations like that.
