Dear Haggai,<br><br>Firstly, it works. Great !<br><br>Like I said in previous mail which you can ignore,<br><br>Question #1: What will happen when there's no Unity 2D installed? I know this isn't suppoed to happen in Ubuntu but it is possible to do and someone might do it and should be able to do it.<br>
<br>Question #2: How do we allow a user to explicitly disable this fall back?<br><br>Do you think that this script won't break anything else in the X session? Running 'dpkg -S /etc/X11/Xsession.d' shows packages that have scripts in that directory. This would require a few more sets of eye balls.<br>

If it found your system to be capable of running Unity (3D) it keeps a file in /tmp named /tmp/unity_support_test.0. If you ran the script before installing the package, then this file might cause the test to pass.<br>
