I did not meant any offense, sorry just in case.
BTW which particular header do you have in mind? Because whatever MUA
you're using does not supply X-Mailer header. And judging by the lowest
'Received', this e-mail I'm replying to was send via GMail web

Ah, I get it now. So, layman's terms put aside, you like to use GNOME2
and not GNOME3. And that Ubuntu's Unity is just not your cup of tea.
Well, they don't argue about tastes, as they say.
