I've been using natty since it came out now. I'm a developer and unity doesn't fit my workflow.
I figured out how to disable unity (from the login screen) a week ago, but everything seems to be working only halfway on my desktop now, the notification area doesn't work correctly anymore, my sound-control has gone, I don't have control over the horrible shadows around the windows with ambiance or radiance on, under other things.
I'm considering to downgrade to 10.10 LTS - but first I wanted to ask here if there's some kind of alternative (maybe not official) build of ubuntu natty - with the old desktop configuration.
