Re: [libreoffice-users] LibreOffice 3.4.3 on Ubuntu 11.10 (Unity 3D)

Unity looks good, sometimes, so I have been told.  But for people use to 
GNOME or KDE, I would make sure those desktops are installed and set 
them as the default.  Everything I have read, and heard, makes me fee 
that will be my only choice, once I get my monitor issues fixed so I can 
install 11.xx.  It may be worse with Win 8 and its "Ribbon" style of 
desktop.  Good for touch pads but not of desktops.  That menu form is 
what many of "my" MSO users would not go beyond MSO 2003 or switched to 
OOo and then LO.
