[Klug-general] Printing from WinXP under Virtualbox

[Alan at comm-tech]

You have probably discovered this already but for anyone else finding 
the default Mac-ified Unity interface annoying,  when you enter username 
and password down the bottom of the screen you can choose "Ubuntu 
classic" interface which will bring up a more familiar interface.

I do like Unity's runapp button though (I found its the only one I 
used!) where you can type in part of an apps name or function and the 
icons reflect.. if only this feature were available in gnome.
