I did not necessarily agree with your conclusion, as you said she must
not be a demanding or intensive user, without defining what that
meant.  I can assure you she can be most demanding (particularly if it
is not doing what she wants) and often uses it intensively, but I get
what you mean.  OK, so am I right in thinking that you agree that for
a user who just uses basic desktop apps, browser, office etc. that
Gnome (with ubuntu-dock extension) is operates and looks very similar
to Unity?  If so then that's fine and we can put our duelling pistols
away again.
