I agree with everything you say about Unity. I use Debian 7 these days basically because Ubuntu has gone so far off base since Lynx, which I have always thought was their best. I use Gnome Classic on my main computer but I've played with E17 for the fun of it. If you can get E17 to run stable it's a hell of a desktop. I have a couple of servers running 14.04 but no desktop on those. I might as well be using Debian on those too since Ubuntu comes from Debian and as a server there little difference.

Gnome-sessions-flashback.... sounds like Ubuntu is starting to listen.
