I'm quite happy with it too, as they thoughtfully provided a
"traditional menu" for the tool bar. I use that, it works like KDE 3 and
I'm happy as a barnacle at high tide. It'll be telling for Unity to
provide such a thing ...or not. If I had the guts, I'd install 11.4 and
add KDE on top of it, just for ducks and grins. Nah... Ric
