I tend to agree with Linus. I upgraded some computers to Ubuntu 11.10,
and am no longer using Unity on any of them. I have one running Gnome
3.2 with the gnome-tweak-tool and another with gnome-session-fallback,
and while neither suits me as well as Gnome 2 in Ubuntu 10.10, I can
live with them in anticipation of everything being fixed in Ubuntu 12.04.
