How to use Gnome instead of Unity in Ubuntu 11.04

Unity sucks. Here's how to get gnome 2 back.


1) Go to the power button in the top right of the screen, click and go down to "System Settings"

2) When System Settings come up, click Login Screen

3) Click Unlock when it's all greyed out.. It'll ask you to enter your password.
