At startup you can choose the "classic" form of Gnome. That is what I did and I feel very happy with it! For me also, the lack of a visible window-switcher is one of the raisons. I like to have 6 windows active so that I can easaly change from applications. Mayby it is also possible in Unity, but I did not find this feature then, but that could be just me? I look forward to your suggestions/experience/other input.

Of all the things I don't like about Unity, the lack of a visible window-switcher seems to bother me the most. I read here that you could add the gnome-panel to Unity. I just did that but it appears to be a waste of time. The window-switcher on the panel will only show one window no matter how many it set to display. TopShelf will not install on it, I get an error message. Every app I open shows up twice on the panel. Has anyone had a different experience and actually gotten some use out of it?
