FWIW, I tried out Ubuntu GNOME 14.04 last night, and with
gnome-flashback and some gnome-tweek-tool'ing it became a fairly
familiar looking desktop, with Applications and Places in the top bar
and a bottom bar with applications.  One thing I couldn't immediately
fix was horizontal workspaces, it insisted on vertical.

It was just a live-boot, i haven't installed it yet.
