The description of the hardware detection is correct.  Additionally,
if anyone wants GNOME2 Panel anyway, then all that is required is to:

  1. Enter the Username at the graphical login (aka "GDM")
  2. Choose "Ubuntu Classic" from the drop down at the bottom
  3. Enter the Password to complete login (with GNOME2 Panel).

There is no such thing as "they" and "us" in Ubuntu;  only *we*.
*We* are all equally welcome to install Unity-2D!:

  sudo apt-get install unity-2d

(It should have feature parity---and if it doesn't that's a bug, which
can be filed at  http://launchpad.net/unity-2d/+filebug )
