Re: [libreoffice-users] Libreoffice & GNOME 3 Compatibility

I got "spoiled" with the GNOME on Ubuntu 10.04 and when Unity became the 
default for Ubuntu last year, I did not like it.  I was told to use MATE 
instead of GNOME 3 shell, since it was not fully working as of late 
Spring.  I could be better now, but I do not know.  I will have to 
install it on my 12.04 laptop and test it out.
