    Question [9.10] switch to "Desktop Mode"

    Hello All, I just installed Karmic UNR on my HP Mini 2140
    Everything seems to be working out of the box
    But the main problem is, I can't seem to find Preferences to switch to Desktop Mode
    I remembered that Jaunty UNR has this icon to quickly change mode to desktop mode

    Anyone knows how to do it? I'll be greatly appreciate it
    Sorry for my english, Thank You!!

    Others have complained. I certainly want to switch (Permanently). The option was deliberately removed. See http://www.mail-archive.com/universe...msg150542.html
    No resolution there then...

    so until now, there's no possible solution to display regular desktop?

    here's what i did, no guarantees here! just seem to work for me.

    in unr mode
    system - preference - startup application
    unchecked - maximus
    unchecked - netbook launcher

    on the top panel
    right click the little ubuntu logo (it's the go home applet) and remove it

    then right click on any part of the blank portion of the top panel
    select add to panel
    select main menu (the main gnome menu)
    then i move this to the leftmost part of the panel

    (NOTE NOTE:
    some part of the top panel may look blank but is actually the window list;
    if on right click and you don't get the "add to panel" selection item, you are right clicking on window list;
    if you can't right click and get the "add to panel" selection item, just
    1) remove the window list,
    2) add main menu,
    3) add back the window list)

    then restart

    You are my hero!!!
    I'm using an Asus 1101hab netbook and the launcher is so sluggish it's unusable! Sometimes 10-20 seconds just to move to another section!
    Should I report this somehow? I actually love the launcher alot, it was just so slow! I'd love to enable it again if only I could get it up to speed.

    By the way any idea on how to get back right click functionality on the background?

    Thanks

    I found the solution to swicht to the standard Desktop by:
    System > Start-up > Netbook Launcher > double click on then (dissable by changing command to xxnetbook-launcher) reboot and add to panels what you want. E Holly
    However I would like to resolve the right-click problem as well
