Matt; Thanks for your response of June 17th.Have resolved this problem by reinstalling 10.10 Ubuntu,and then reupgrading back up to 11.04.(Chose "Ubuntu-Classic",at login.)Other part of solution was to download and install Compiz-Prefs.-Manager.(This enabled a deselection of the Unity-desktop,in Ubuntu 11.04.Everything seems to work fine now,since a month or so.)Note: this may only be a solution for newbies like me,who don't really know command-line fixits!(Even at that,this fix doesn't work upon a reinstall of Ubuntu 11.04....it seems you have to reinstall from 10.10,or earlier for this to work via GUI only.Why? Because you'll be unable to choose the "Ubuntu-Classic-Deskstop" option,at login.(Without command-line hammering and mods.,of course.)So,if you're a newbie,you can try this.But even at that,I can't say for certain,how I got it to work-wish there were night-school courses in Ubu! Sincerly, John.
