One of the many things missing in Unity are my gnome-panel applets - cpu, bandwidth and memory meters to note my most missed. Aside from widgets that can pop up on an F9 (or whatever), does Unity offer any applets?

WTF? Unity seems to be emerging as an extremely limited interface for the most basic email and browsing use only. Oh yeah - and of course Facebook and IM.

If you logout and change the session to 'Gnome Desktop' (I think, might be Classic) rather than Unity then log back in again that should give you a regular 'classic' Gnome desktop environment.

That's great but what does Unity have?

Give unity time. Gnome has been around for a very long time and applets are many. Over time unity will catch up.
