Comment 134 for bug 733349

I guess the main question is:
whether these cases (this and some other "wontfix"es) are just an acidents (because of bad patches code, bad moon phases, or seasonal affective disorder among Aetana),
or this is general developement policy (to ignore users' feedback, make design desisions more priority over users' opinion, and making users away of being able to customize desktop).

In latter case, as SRoesgen emotionaly stated, we cannot expect any more good from Unity mainstream and should just completely quit using Unity, keeping all our users/customers/relatives/colleagues (whom we tech support by job or by friendship) away from it, switching to some other, more friendly and customizable, desktop systems.

In first case, a solution could be to fork Unity and make parallel, more "democratic" distribution, with less responsibilities, but with more fits to users expectations.
There are already several refused patches to apply, several requested features to implement, and at least one package (ubuntutweak) to integrate.
This could be the way to make ubuntu "for people"
