Bug Description
I've been using Unity a few hours. I'm getting really frustrated.
Here's what I don't understand: The distinction between programs and instances is fundamental to using a desktop PC effectively, and yet unity makes an assumption that I'll only ever have one instance of an application open, or at best it looks like multiple-windows have been grudgingly bolted on to Unity.
There are three very simple things that need to be done to fix this:
* ungroup the windows
* display the window titles in the taskbar
* allow moving the taskbar to a long edge of the screen so that window titles are readable
