~~The feature not available with unity launcher.~~

Update: You can have this feature almost same with unity desktop but not exact. It will look like below

appmenu

To do so: run following commands,

sudo apt-add-repository ppa:diesch/testing
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install classicmenu-indicator

Alternatives:

Install cairo-dock and use it. Optionally hide the unity launcher.
Install gnome-shell and choose gnome classic at login screen. But you will loose unity

gnome-shell is the most popular interface for Gnome 3, cairo-dock is just a dock, this has nothing to do with this topic. – user827992 Jul 15 '12 at 10:30

is it so? you should look once more in the screen shot. using cairo-dock you got the grouping and the unity too.(The most relevant solution as per topic ) gnome-shell also include gnome2 classic. – Web-E Jul 15 '12 at 10:35
yes, but not "as it was pre-11.04" – user827992 Jul 15 '12 at 10:36
I said alternative/ most relevant not exact :) – Web-E Jul 15 '12 at 10:38

It's available and can be installed with the command

sudo apt-get install gnome-panel

remember to choose your desktop environment at the login prompt.

which desktop environment? – Web-E Jul 15 '12 at 10:24
It's named "Gnome classic" – user827992 Jul 15 '12 at 10:24
Then unity launcher would be gone. isn't it? – Web-E Jul 15 '12 at 10:27
nope, you can choose, it's still there, you just have 1 more desktop to choose from. – user827992 Jul 15 '12 at 10:28
what I meant you can use unity launcher and panel at the same time – Web-E Jul 15 '12 at 10:29
No, you can't have unity and gnome-panel at the same time... – Tinellus Jul 15 '12 at 10:31
of course, it's another desktop environment, you have to choose. – user827992 Jul 15 '12 at 10:31
@user827992 you should read the last line of the question – Web-E Jul 15 '12 at 10:36
