Unity here I just wish they would add some functionality to the Launcher and top panel like Gnome 2 has. Like, adding an icon to the Launcher that points to a shell script that starts a program is almost black magic to get it to work. In Gnome 2 it was clear and straightforward. Also in Unity the top panel is not a panel at all. It's useless. I have to remove the packages that stick menus at the top in a global way, to get Gnome 2 functionality back. But with all that said it's not a bad desktop overall. Yet, I'm still on the fence about it.
