Frigging Ubuntu

I had to delete and recreate my Gnome panel to get rid of an app/icon/whatever you call them that had no "remove from panel" choice. This is a symptom of upgrading. This only takes about five minutes, but it shouldn't happen at all. There have been a couple of things that have broken with the upgrade to 10.04. This kind of crap piled on top of the mouse pointer issues I've experienced make me second guess recommending Ubuntu in the future. They may sound trivial, but added up, they amount to a pain in the ass.
