You can't downgrade. Remember that Ubuntu 9.10 is no longer supported:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_%28operating_system%29#Releases

this means that you will not receive update/support etc.

Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) was great and had some useful features, like the count down to restart etc., and i liked the collours...

http://askubuntu.com/questions/49869/how-to-roll-back-ubuntu-11-10-to-11-04 provides some guidance.
11.04 provides, if you select it, the old GUI.
You can also roll back to 10.04.3 LTS, which will be supported until 2013-04
The latest solution is to switch to Mint 12 which was a derivate of Ubuntu, and is still closed. It proposes both old Gnome 2.3 GUI (your one) and Gnome 3 (like new Unity).
