Hi,
while setting up my production 12.04 machine I stumbled upon a few
issues, e.g. bug #768931 - "no custom icon on launcher displayed for
mono winforms and ogre apps".
This bug also crashes/closes the complete unity interface when the
user does the wrong click. And the Bug is there since 11.04
Hi :)

Continuing to support 10.04 would be great. MS seem to have finally stopped
supporting Xp except under unusual conditions but it's true they kept adding a
few more years on. Unity has grown fast into a very usable interface. I
thought it would take a couple more years to get this far

Hi :)
A fresh install is always better than upgrading. Also the more steps you take
the less likely to be satisfactory. It's usually possible to upgrade from 1
LTS to the next LTS without upgrading to all the intermediarry 6monthlies.
There is a neat trick for installing any version over any
