[17:00] <dzho> once again I've "upgraded" Ubuntu and don't know if the new behavior I'm seeing is a bug or a feature
[17:00] <dzho> the left-hand launcher is mostly gone, to be replaced by an "activities" button that brings up something launcher-like
[17:00] <dzho> is this normal?
[17:01] <yano> wait a second
[17:01] <yano> :o
[17:02] <yano> dzho: did you and i just have a convo on another network?
[17:02] <dzho> totes, bro
[17:03] <dzho> yano
[17:06] <yano> whoa, neat
[17:07] <dzho> the Internet, how does it work
[17:07] <dzho> :-)
[17:07] <yano> ikr? heh
[17:08] <dzho> anyway, alt-tab still does some stuff, just...very differently than it had done, which is very disappointing to find in an LTS
[17:08] <dzho> for instance, repeated applications of Alt-tab do not walk me through my windows any more.  I get one run through, and that's it, and it doesn't descend into my multiple browser windows for instance.
[17:14] <dzho> oh, haha, I'll bet I know what happened.
[17:15] <dzho> I bet during the upgrade and reboots, the login manager forgot my desktop preference and shoved me into GNOME
[17:15] <dzho> damnit
[17:16] <dzho> ahahahahaha, that was it
[17:16] <dzho> shows you how often I use GNOME
