I don't under stand all the talk about Gnome on 12.04. If I want to use 
it just log out and there are 3 different Gnomes to use on my PC. Now 
have have only been using Ubuntu since 2007 so maybe it has changed a 
lot. I just kind of wish I could put the bar at the bottom because of my 
old hands it is easer for me to move the mouse down. But not enough to 
worry about I just go slow.
