Just upgraded Ubuntu to 11.4, stuck with trying to accomplish things in this crazy new Unity desktop. In the vertical bar there's a button to open a terminal. Ok, I open a terminal, cd to a directory and accomplish some useful work, maybe start a long compile or some command that takes forever.
Now on another desktop (workspace, whatever they call them) I use the same button to open a fresh terminal to do some other work on something else. But, there's no new terminal to work in. Instead it brings me to the first terminal. Eventually I found another way to open terminals, and I think the file manager had an "open terminal here" feature which is what I normally prefer anyway, but still...
Why does Unity do this, and how to persuade it to open a new gnome terminal for each time I click that button?
