I don't use unity, so I might be off target. But "heads up search"
sounds like what synapse is doing for me. It's a small app that finds
anything, files or programs. Hit ctrl-space to launch, type a few
letters (just f and first suggestion is firefox, first suggestion adapts
to what is most used). Navigate through suggestions with arrows.
Synapse is available in software center and synaptic.
As for changing desktop image, for me right-click on the desktop and
choosing desktop settings gets me there. Or [ctrl-space], [de] and first
suggestion is desktop settings.
Good luck on ubuntu studio, and never be afraid to ask!
All the best,
Alf

Love the "heads up" search, especially. Nothing one can't do in Studio with
a few more clicks, though.
And I can't change the desktop picture to one of my own in Studio -- and
no, I won't be surprised to learn that is a bug or glitch specific to my
wheezy old computer, not the OS.

I changed from Ubuntu 12.10 to Ubuntu Studio 12.10 primarily because GIMP
was slightly flakey (main problem was it wouldn't accept ctr key
combination like ctr+ left click to select area for clone brush) and I
hoped Studio would not have something hijacking the ctrl function. I also
do lots of content creation (primarily writing and art photography) so
Studio seemed a good choice.
Now I find myself missing the much-maligned Unity desktop. So, can I
change
to Unity desktop in Studio without horrible consequences? (And if so, how
do I do it?)
Or is nobody checking to see if Unity works with all the rest of Studio,
and so I should just shut up and sit down?
Thanks.
Pete
I agree with other answers you got, better ask than not. And, out of
curiosity, I've got my own question: Which functions of Unity do you miss?
