Private $sUnityVersion As String

Private Function Unity() As Boolean

  Dim sOutput As String
  Try Exec ["unity", "--version"] To sOutput
  If Not (Error Or Len(sOut) = 0) Then
    bUnity = True
    $sUnityVersion = ExtractUnityVersion(sOutput)
    Return True
  Else
    Return False
  Endif


Private Function ExtractUnityVersion(TextToParse As String) As String
  
  Dim iPosB, iPosE As Integer
  iPosB = InStr(TextToParse, " ", 1) + 1
  iPosE = InStr(TextToParse, "\n", iPosB)
  Return Trim(Mid$(TextToParse, iPosB, iPosE - iPosB))
  
End

Important is to check this before checking for gnome!!

As far as I know it doesn't run with all window managers.
It does run with: mutter, metacity, kwin and muffin.
