Subject: Questions about Working with (or around) Unity in Ubuntu 12.04
Even though I have no respect for Ubuntu's Unity desktop, I don't want to
make this a gripe thread. I have Ubuntu 12.04 installed on a Windows 7
VirtualBox machine, and I need to make it work as productively as I can for
the time being. That said, I have a few questions:

1. The Launcher is not rolling out for me since I installed 12.04. It
previously would roll out when my mouse was near the left side of the
desktop. To access the Launcher I now have to press the Windows key on my
keyboard.

2. I cannot find any way to Show the Desktop. I have never been able to
do this in Unity (or in Gnome on Linux Mint).

Can anybody help me with these problems, or give me a nice way to move away
from Unity Desktop in Ubuntu 12.04? I suppose I would want to go back to
the old Ubuntu default of Gnome.

Tom
