Glad it's working, even if it's a bit of a workaround.

Which bugs are these? Normally the comments subtly explain why any fixes
have not made it beyond a patch attached to a bugreport.

Are you basically after a UI that looks like 2007, or do you have some
special requirements? Unity's not noticeably laggy here (this isn't a
