6Downvoted - not because it's a bad answer (it's not) but because the screenshots are increasingly out of date. The command line alternatives are better.– Andrew MCommented May 14, 2014 at 12:32

@AndrewM: True...though, I'm not sure if I should update it or expand it to something more generic...but doesn't get better than the other answers. I'll expand it for the time being and update it...– BobbyCommented May 14, 2014 at 17:54

great edit - downvote reversed. Is it worth explaining the relationship between Unity and Gnome?– Andrew MCommented May 15, 2014 at 14:05

@AndrewM: What realationship do you mean? That they both are using Gtk3? Or the love/hate between them? By the way, no worries about downvotes on my posts, downvotes are not negative in my opinion.– BobbyCommented May 15, 2014 at 17:15

I thought Unity was Gnome (just a veneer on top)? I'm on unity and a lot of the other tests suggested on this question show up as Gnome (eg "ls /usr/bin/*session*" and the ps | grep style ones). I'll read up a bit as it's interesting.– Andrew MCommented May 19, 2014 at 14:06

How to Tag
A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. windows-7), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
