Unity Fix

Well, at least "fixing" the global menus in Unity (i.e., killing them and forcing the menus back onto the application window instead) wound up being easy.

The solution, from a source which I forgot to document, was as follows:
This command brings menus and controls to their own windows:
sudo apt-get remove indicator-appmenu
This moves the controls into the window, but only when the window is restored. When maximised, the controls go back at the top, but that's OK because it's maximised anyway.

That takes care of the most annoying issue with Unity -- all the mouse-chasing with apps that don't (or can't) have keyboard shortcuts for common menu items.

It still says something that my current wallpaper is a list of Unity keyboard shortcuts ... best way to learn 'em, though.
