These two tweaks have solved most of my Unity issues.
I still like the default install on a netbook used for surfing
and casual idiot level usage but for a serious workstation
with a decent sized screen, these help a lot.
The first gets back to sane scrollbars in applications.
The second returns most of the system applications menu's
back to the application window. In firefox you have to disable
an extension as well.
