Israel:

Thank you for the additional viewpoints you took the time to point out.

I have tended to become cynical, seeing the amazing variety of choices 
of color-schemes (two) available in Ubuntu Unity, and no longer being 
able to put useful applets in the task-bar (a Gnome thing, I think).

Anyway, I should restrain my cynicism.
