There are a few silly things in Ubuntu that I found not

some honcho in one of the companies. Silliness.

I use Ubuntu on my work machine. Corporate choice, not mine.

Some plonker in Ubuntu has decreed that the task bar will be on the left
hand side of the monitor. That's the long edge on mine, and it takes up
a stupid amount of space.


Some plonker has decreed that the task bar here is on top,. and there is
an autohiding menu bar down the right hand side.

Oh that was me. For some reaoson Linux MATE allows me to make that choice...
