Unity breaks basic UI principles

[Chhatoi Pritam Baral]

In all fairness, Unity is not yet mature as an open source product.
But, its still opensource! I'm sure it won't take long for inquisitive
devs to start hacking on it, and maybe consequentially get absorbed
into other distros too.

Though I really hate the idea of having no Classic Ubuntu in Onieric.
If enough people raise voices, Canonical will have to listen.
