apt-get remove unity; apt-get install gnome

Done. What's the problem?

You don't even need to do that much. Just select the classic desktop at login time.

At least on alpha3, selecting the classic desktop results in broken themes. Gnome suddenly reverts to looking completely unskinned and like it did 10 years ago.

I never noticed how fast my GPU was until I crashed the theme engine by accidentally xkilling the bottom panel.

And I don't think it looks that bad.

I might be hitting a bug then on the nouveau drivers. because I am getting completely unthemed gtk which looks a lot like Tk.

I think we have different definitions of ugly ;-)

I confess. I don't think unthemed GTK 2 is ugly.

The article seems to state that switching to classic still forces you to use the single menu bar.
