I finally killed off my iMac Leopard install and having lost the Leopard OS disk I decided to fall back to Ubuntu.
Everything works for the most part but I have some really annoying niggles.
Unfortunately my silly Mac keyboard has no print screen button so I will do my best to describe the 3 key issues.
1) Pressing the 'cmd' button brings up the search box. The problem is that I have been working in 4 work spaces for a couple of hours. Now the search box falls under windows instead of going over them. To resolve this I need to move the window. Has anyone else come across this before?
2) With spaces, if a window spills out of one work space into the left side of another, the Unity menu falls behind the window. So to view the Unity menu I need to go to a space which doesn't have a window spilling in from the left. Is there a way to stop the overflow of spaces?
3) I have installed Spotify via PlayOnLinux. I have also installed the Linux version of Skype. They put icons next to the bluetooth / wireless icons in the top bar. After a couple of hours use these icons are no longer clickable. The only way I can interact with them is to kill the process in the system monitor, then relaunch the application. If I close the application and have it running in the top bar the icons still don't work. The application runs fine when this is happening. Its just with Spotify I cannot change track or open it again because the icon is dead.
4) Not a real issue, just a bit odd. Spotify works fine. Plays tracks etc etc. However it has some funky colors. If someone can tell me how I can print screen without a print screen button I can demonstrate. I was wondering if there was a setting somewhere that would remedy this. Very minor though.
