Remove Unity interface to use gnome classic

Ubuntu 11.10 comes with Unity interface by default. This can be annoying for users who are used to the original interface, especially because there is no way to directly access applications from menu. Installing and using ‘gnome-session-fallback’ provides a configuration option to login to the Gnome Classic interface.

 $ sudo apt-get install gnome-session-fallback

After the installation goes through, you can logout and select “Gnome Classic” from the ‘Settings’ option (gear wheel) on the login page.
