[12:35] <kodiak11> Mornin'
[12:37] <kodiak11> Pittsburgher here - RHEL user professionally for a few years now.  Was a Ubuntu hobbiest since the very beginning w/ 4.10 to about 10.04.  Just checking in to say howdy ya'll
[12:37] <kodiak11> Just now dipping a toe again w/ 14.04 on a Lenovo.  Trying to give Unity a fair shake.
[12:45] <teddy-dbear> don't shake too hard you might break it
[12:49] <kodiak11> There are some cool parts I guess, I've often thought with the trend toward 16:9 that getting vertical space back and putting side-bars on will help
[12:50] <kodiak11> but I'm not thrilled to not have all my silly XFCE widgets in the top bar tray
[12:50] <kodiak11> (CPU utilization etc)
[12:50] <kodiak11> After Gnome 2.32 I standardized on XFCE
[12:51] <rmg51> that's why I'm not using Unity
[12:51] <rmg51> I want silly things on my panel
[12:51] <rmg51> like an email notification icon
[12:51] <kodiak11> Are they sorting that?
[12:51] <rmg51> and a thermal monitor
[12:52] <kodiak11> Are gadgets coming back in later versions of Unity?
[12:52] <rmg51> haven't heard
[12:53] <rmg51> as long as I can't add to the panel I won't use it
[12:53] <rmg51> I stay with XFCE
[13:13]  * jedijf votes Lubuntu
[13:51] <rmg51> can't customize it the way you can XFCE
[14:04] <kodiak11> Sure that's fair but I feel like Unity could suck less if they just sort some stuff out.  Wonder how Clem's projects are doing (haven't looked in a bit at Cinnamon and whatever the other one was...)
[14:21] <kodiak11> Looks like there are a few gadgets avail in unity that can make it suck less:  http://askubuntu.com/questions/30334/what-application-indicators-are-available
