Hi,
Have upgraded from 10.04, and i don't like the way 12.04 'works' as a desktop.
There is no taskbar as before. The apps are not all set out neatly from top menus. If you have many Firefox windows open, you have to click the app icon twice to see other windows. If I'm in an app like KMail, I can't get to the other windows within KMail, unless I go click the KMail icon again, .. very much harder to drive.
Also, there is no CLI (but have since found a Ctrl-Alt-T brings it up), and there are many other apps 'missing, from within system admin or system/prefs. It was all "neat" before with all office apps together, all internet apps together,etc.
Now, I do see there are different desktops that can be used, like that shown at http://modifyubuntu.com and
http://www.techdrivein.com/2012/06/25-things-i-did-after-installing-ubuntu.html
Can someone please inform me which is the desktop to install/use, so that it has the same look/feel, and use of taskbar and windows, etc, as 10.04 operated.
