I got used to it after a couple days. My home computer runs Unity while my desktop at work runs classic Gnome (with 10.10 - I'm waiting for 11.10)

My biggest complaint is that Unity took all my super bindings from Emacs. I had to do a lot of remapping for it to work on both machines.

That was the deal breaker, Ubuntu is just a library that Emacs use to communicate with the hardware.

Just change the hotkey for the Unity panel - in the compiz plugin configuration, the Unity plugin.

But then I'd have to manage custom bindings for both Emacs and Unity. It was easier to avoid collisions in Emacs and let Unity use Super for whatever it wants (which is useful, BTW)

I found that Unity doesn't like Super+R or whatever other combination you enter. It doesn't always seem to "catch" the combination.
