I'm back to LXDE on it.

My laptop is running 12.04 quite happily.

I'm on 11.10 on my desktop in Gnome Shell mode with the Unity 2D Panel (the bit down the right).
I'll move to 12.04 in a few weeks and give full Unity & Compiz another 
go. My nVidia 6000 series card slowed Compiz down to a crawl under 11.10 
- Sounds like I might have to swap back to my Gnome Shell/Unity 2D combo 
or buy a newer (better supported) graphics card with 12.04 :(
