I recently installed 11.10 on my laptop, this is my first experience with Unity and have some questions about it's use.
Been using Unity 2D mostly as it's a bit more responsive than the 3D one.


I would have used 12.10 but the Nvidia driver for my laptop won't install.

When I minimize a window I noticed it doesn't go to the taskbar which use to be at the bottom of the desktop.
I have to click on the 'workspaces' Unity launcher and click on the appropriate workspace to get my window, which takes longer and I don't like it.

Is this the normal way of getting to a minimized window now? Isn't there a better easier way? Can I get back the bottom task bar?

I can't add any shortcuts/apps on the top taskbar with the right-click anymore, has this been disabled/changed?



How do I add shortcuts/apps to the Unity launcher??
