[Qgis-user] FW: Problem with Ubuntu 12

[Alex Mandel]

I would phrase it differently:
Known Issues, some users have reported issues with the new Unity
interface of Ubuntu, see list below.... Please contact the mailing list
if you encounter additional issues so we can work on better support for
Unity.

Thanks
Alex
