Comment 30 for bug 739812

I'm affected with this bug (I posted bug #915250) and I'll explain why I think this bug is critical. Sorry for my English mistakes, I'm Spanish. I bought a tablet with ubuntu 11.10 preinstalled. The company which sells the tablet made his own oneiric iso image with some special additions for tablets. The default desktop in the iso is gnome-shell, and unity-2d was also preinstalled. unity doesn't.

I installed unity by myself, and I found it perfectly usable in the tablet (I made a lot of tweaks, for example I remove overlay-scrollbar, but unity worked fine, IMHO much better than gnome-shell unity-2d). The only problem I found in unity is this bug of onboard and dash.

I don't know anybody in the company and I don't know why they removed unity and include unity-2d and gnome-shell, but I wasn't surprised that it was for this bug. If so, if a bug makes a hardware vendor remove unity and include gnome-shell, I can imagine a bug more critical than this one.
