On the screen where I pick the user I want to log in as, under

past Ubuntu versions and most other Linuxes, I could pick

the "session" that I wanted.

I don't seem to see that in 11.10? Am I overlooking it?

How do I go from a picture back to plain color background?

Where did all of my desktop theme combinations go? They're

all gone? I've upgrade this system from 7.04 on and now

they are all freaking gone?

Why can't I change my font?

Why did that ridiculous top menu crap come back - I had removed

the packages for it? Why did the upgrade process ignore that

and stick me back with them again so I had to go back and

remove them again?

Why can't a right-click on that useless top panel and like

add/remove stuff?

Why can't I right-click on the "launcher?" at the left and

customize it?

This is like a bad dream. Several years of my life when people

ask me about Ubuntu I would tell them it's a great, well

managed Linux distribution. I can't do that any more. I'm almost

certain this all started going down hill when the ditched the

thing that set them apart the most...the earthy brown colors

switching to the mystical purple crap. It's all been one

long slow down hill slide since then.
