How can I remove "frequently used programs" from the menu?
3 Answers
This is not possible with earlier versions of Unity but will be possible in Unity 5.0: see the image in one of the answers here:
To get rid of the "Most frequently used programs" section:
- launch
dconf-editor
(which is part of the dconf-tools package) - navigate to
/desktop/unity/lenses/applications
- uncheck the
display-recent-apps
box

Configuration of Display Recent Apps and its counterpart Display Available Apps is now available directly via the GUI application MyUnity
The image shows the option turned off - you can click as shown to switch-on the Dash display of recent apps.

If you want to install unity 5.0 on 11.10:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:unity-team/staging
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
I have upgraded, works perfectly.
