Classic gnome is back in 12.04

[wolfen69]

Can I stick stuff on the panels? Can I have my virtual desktops? Can I have my min/max buttons and scroll bars?
Can I have 13 windows open in the Gimp in a nice neat stack on the title bar?

Someone listened! They listened!Excuse me,I've got something in my eye.

Yes, yes, yes, and yes.

I love GNOME3 and its new alternatives, but it's toasty on my laptop. I'm running Lubuntu and G2 on Lucid and Squeeze.

The installation of gnome fallback has always been an option, ever since the change to gnome 3 the panel has been there, don't know why people act surprise.

Anyway, I change to gnome shell and I'm not going back to panels, is not 1995 anymore.

First I hated Unity but now I have fallen love with it . Classic Gnome is practically dead

I don't know why everyone is saying to press the super key along with alt and right click to add applets to the panel, I was able to do it with just alt + right click, no super key needed...

I never said it was gnome 2, but it's as close as you are going to get, and should satisfy those yearning for a gnome 2-like experience.

I know that. I was just clearing up any possible confusion and pointing out that we already have it in 11.10. No need to jump into an alpha or wait around for it.

We already have this in 11.10, so......... what's new?

Looks like a skinned version on Gnome 3's fallback mode.

It is, but it'll also be able to use compositing via Compiz.

That's Great for people who would like to use it . I hope it is not installed by default with the Gnome Shell . As it is now I have a DE I don't use .
