What exactly does that mean? You can add and remove applets the same way you always have, except you now press and hold super+alt and that you no longer have to lock and unlock applets. It would be easier if you were less vague. For instance, it sounds as if you didn't understand how to customize the panel. If you're using Compiz, you press and hold super+alt. If you're using metacity, you press Alt. Otherwise, it's identical to how it was before. That's also how you add the rubbish bin and any other applet. <blockquote cite="mid:1336577753.3423.55.camel@DV410DBN.lenscom.co.uk" type="cite"> With regard to trying Unity, I have found the Unity interface provides too much information and too many options which can cause desktop confusion and annoyance.

My initial findings with Debian are very favourable in that the desktop is very much as 10.04 and very easy to customise.

I don't know how long 6.x will be supported though. And of course, in the next version, it will be replaced anyway. Why not jump in, report bugs and take an active role?
