Thanks for the answer, Sebastien. You don't have to sorry, it's a
pleassure to speak with you. What I'm trying to tell is that ubuntu and
gnome developers don't know who or where those 1% people can be. Maybe
I'm the 1% of a lot of removed options, I gave you those examples for a
reason.

- There's a computer room in my University with old PC's that don't work
fine with Unity, I'm pretty sure that I've tested automatically login in
Unity-2D and didn't work, it always started in Unity, so I believe that
I have to edit a file to solve this problem. However I've just tested in
my own PC and you're right, the automatic login respects the last
desktop udes. Maybe I did something wrong when I tested, maybe a recent
update changed this. It doesn't matter, the main thing is that it works.
Thank you so much for your comment, I have one less problem for the new
course :-D

- Thanks for the link of the groups. In the last course I propose an
exercise: I have a wife and a child, everyone with their own account,
and I want that my wife can read my files but my child not. In 11.04
there was an easy way to solve using User and Groups icon, now I need to
use a console. Not a problem for me, but bad for new users.

- For the power button, I use my computer as a DLNA server to watch in
my TV movies that I have in my hard disk. When I finish to watch them I
used to

(in Ubuntu 11.04)
1-Press power button and go to bed

However now I have to

(in plain ubuntu 11.10)
1- Turn monitor on and wait a few seconds until it responds
2- Enter my password (because screen is locked)
3- Press power button or click on power off upper-right menu
4- Select power off and go to bed

I'm afraid that tweak tools I've used (gconf-editor, Ubuntu Tweak) only
allow to remove the confirmation of menu in the upper-right corner, not
the power off button, so I can only remove a step

(in ubuntu 11.10 with tweaks)
1- Turn monitor on and wait a few seconds until it responds
2- Enter my password (because screen is locked)
3- Click on power-off and go to bed

I had to apply a different approach to have in ubuntu 11.10 the same
behaviour than in 11.04. I wrote in http://askubuntu.com/questions/66723
/how-do-i-set-the-power-button-to-shutdown-instantly-instead-of-
opening-a-dialog/84984#84984 But this solution is not for a new user.
