What is in my skill set is a bit of PyGTK. I've had these two merge proposals up for almost a week now with no response. I have upload rights for ccsm in Ubuntu, but I'd still appreciate a code review. https://code.launchpad.net/~andrewsomething/ubuntu/precise/compizconfig-settings-manager/first_run_warning/+merge/91374 Add a first run dialog providing a user warning. https://code.launchpad.net/~andrewsomething/ubuntu/precise/compizconfig-settings-manager/disable_unity_checkbox/+merge/91375 If in a Unity session, don't allow the user to disable Unity from main view.
