Comment 25 for bug 527458

Hi Mark,

I echo Jan and others' comments: the LTS release is not the place to do this, and there must be a way to restore the backwards-compatible behaviour. I am a geek who frequently recommends Ubuntu to others (both professional and non-professional users), and i will certainly be reconsidering the desktop and the distribution i recommend if this goes ahead.

I fully sympathise with your concern to bring consistency and better integration to the desktop, but throwing out functionality that people rely on every day is flat out *disrespect* for your existing users. (The same goes for gratuitous change like moving the close button from the right to the left.)

Regards,
Paul
