Ubuntu 11.10 comes with Classic GNOME. It is what I use instead of
Unity. From the Unity desktop, I logged out. One the left side of the
screen where the user password is entered, there is a cog in the upper
right corner of the box for the password. Clicking it gives these
choices: GNOME, GNOME (without effects), GNOME CLASSIC, Unity, and Unity
2D. Later shutting down and rebooting returns to GNOME CLASSIC.
