Ubuntu Releases 12.04 LTS Precise Pangolin

Apparently, it's against Ubuntu's broader design goals, which require the launcher always close to the Ubuntu button:

There are some unofficial plugins which allow you to do it, but that will break future bug updates.

When the benign dictator states that they're choosing aesthetics over functionality I know the project has stopped being useful to me.

I understand the need for a clear vision, but I have no idea why they cannot (and refuse to) allow a configuration option for this. Even if it's a line in a config file.

This comment is no longer valid because the Ubuntu button is on the launcher itself.

You're right. I'll look into it and see if there's an easy way to switch sides now without breaking anything.

If you do, let us know.

I miss the NeXT feel of having it on the right.
