lol, I was thinking this the entire time when I just installed natty
on this friend's machine and then was almost embarassed with all the
strange behaviour and UI glitches (apart from the fact that the UI was
alien to me and I felt stupid :)) .. I still hope to spend time on
friend's machine and document these little issues faced and hopefully
be able to file some replicable bugs. While saying this though, I
think Unity possibly is not a bad way to go for the future if Ubuntu
is to retain it's newbie friendly status and impress the mac and
windows fanbois :P, and currently it is quite simple to switch to
Gnome in the login screen, so I think it's okay..

Anyway - thanks again for the help - I'll send follow-ups when I next
get access to the friend's machine.

Cheers,
Sanjay
