gnome-panel gnome-session-fallback difference

[alphaj]

Hi all,

I just installed oneiric ocelot and I really hate the unity and gnome 3 interface so I wanto to use the classig gnome interface.

Can anyone tell me the difference between using

gnome-panel
gnome-session-fallback


Thanks

See the sticky thread in this forum for instructions on how to get what you want - a huge amount of users are switching from unity to the old GNOME.
"gnome-panel" is the package that allows for a graphical menu to be placed on the screen to perform various tasks, such as window management, placing various instant-view utilities (i.e. Network Manager), and placing launchers.
"gnome-session-fallback" is the package that enables a user to login and compute without using the famously productivity-killing Unity interface.
Have a lot of fun!
