Comment 173 for bug 733349

The patch by Marco described in comment #58 fixes this abhorrent annoyance and helps to heal the usability disaster which is Unity.

If not for his work (which for reasons far from logical was not approved for merging) I would no longer be an Ubuntu user.

I am concerned going forward however. If I choose to continue using Ubuntu, will I be able to apply the same patch to a newer (oneiric) version of Unity? Has anyone here done so yet? Or, does the patch need to be specific to the Unity version?
