Bug Description
The new UNE launcher unity in Maverick is awfully broken. It eats up much too much of the valuable screen (and unity devels only reply: make your apps smaller!) and is way too slow on typical netbook hardware (i.e. 1.6 GHz Atoms). Lucid's netbook-launcher was cool AND quick AND left the whole screen to apps, so please:
Bring netbook-launcher back to maverick's repositories! Leave the choice of the preferred UI to us!
The 2D netbook-
netbook-launcher has been superseeded by unity. We currently have nobody who step up to keep maintaining it when I called for maintainance on planet.ubuntu.com
You're welcome to do so and assume maintainance of it if you want. Just hop on #ubuntu-desktop on freenode and ping me.
