Not a single article I read has stated that "in transition" issue or it 
depends on 3D.
I wish they would have stated that in the dozen or so articles I have 
read.  All they tell you is that if you do not like Unity, then you can 
use GNOME "the next time" reboot your system.

 I wonder if 11.04 comes with a Kubuntu version.  I will have to see, 
since I use GNOME with many KDE packages, so both desktops are installed 
on my system.  Right now, my system [typing from it now] is back to 
10.04 LTS so I will not be plagued with the "Upgrade Now" message every 
time I get the daily update-manager message for the newer packages.

I know that LibreOffice is in 11.04 distro, but was told once it was 
added to the 10.10 and/or 10.04 distros.  Just OOo.  I will have to 
remember how to do the "purge" command properly to get rid of OOo from 
my system.  Actually, it seems that LibreOffice wanted to install some 
objects/packages that use OOo in their title.  That came out the last 
time I got rid of anything OOo titled ones and then installed 
LibreOffice 3.3.0 [or first DEB package].
