ok, so you are describing something worse than the left handed menu that was in 10.04? I haven't tried 10.10 so I don't know, but at first your description didnt sound like anything new (lack of a bottom bar and something going on on the left had side). Perhaps I don't want to bother giving it a whirl.<div>

I've been current with the Ubuntu Netbook Remix since it came out, and this is the first I've seen the parade of app icons on the left. Till now they were menus and categories..<br>
