Bjørn, the following is not  intended as a swipe at you personally, but I
must say that the introduction of the Unity UI on Ubuntu has not been the
sort of thing that I should like to see occur on LibreOffice. My impression
is that objections from users have been disregarded in a cavalier manner,
and that we were faced with an attitude of my way or the highway. Not
encouraging....
