Spread improvements, HighDPI support, new decorations, and the usual bug-fixes are also making it into the new LTS release. Is Unity starting to grow up?"

    Of course, the really sad part of it all is that you used to be able (with Gnome 1 and sawfish) to simply check a box and switch between global or local menus. Not to mention a whole host of other choices (like virtual desktop layouts and edge-flipping) that have been taken away for your own good.

    I sometimes wonder if being a jerk is a prerequisite to coding for the Gnome project.
