Thanks for the link. The question is very timely also, Mel just
beat me to it. <br>
<br>
I have installed 10.04 LTS for a few friends and family, none of
whom seem to be interested in Unity. Has anyone tried this
"fix"? Is there any loss in functionality to be concerned about?
I did see something about installing gnome shell from the gnome
team repository (ppa: gnome3-team/gnome3) instead of using the
default Ubuntu repository gnome package (too old apparently?). <br>

I have been using it since installing 12.04. I made sure that I
could use classic Gnome before I did the upgrade to 12.04.<br>
<br>
I have not been able to get icons for apps on the top bar, but
that is not very important, and I have not tried to hard to figure
it out.</blockquote>

Having app icons on the top bar is kind of important for my
mother-in-law, it's the only way she remembers how to start a
program. I'll have to see if I can figure it out.<br>
