Can a Gnome2 like interface be built upon the new Gnome3 code?

How do I make an Ubuntu 11.10 setup running XFCE, or maybe GNOME 3 classic mode look and behave exactly like the classic Ubuntu setup of Ubuntu 10.10?

well, you may choose to install xubuntu: http://www.xubuntu.org/ or if you have ubuntu with unity already installed, you can install the xfce desktop by: 

sudo apt-get install xfce4

OR

you install gnome 3 by:

sudo apt-get install gnome-shell

When installed, you may choose it in the login screen (gnome classic is what you mean). Thats it.

    Word of warning - installing xubuntu-desktop over existing Ubuntu installation may break other environments. You can install xfce4 for a minimal XFCE desktop, to just try things out. Once you make up your mind, you can set desktop of your choice as default - see http://askubuntu.com/questions/62833/how-do-i-change-the-default-session-for-lightdm-when-using-auto-logins – jnv Oct 26 '11 at 19:03
  • Why would xubuntu-desktop break anything? There is a conflict between the notification system of ubuntu-desktop and xubuntu-desktop, but that'll be pulled in with Xfce as well. – Jo-Erlend Schinstad Oct 26 '11 at 19:28

You just need to install Gnome Panel:

sudo apt-get install gnome-panel

It's a little different than the Gnome Panel of 10.10 but it looks like.
