How to uninstall / get rid of Launchpad

Hi All,

Is there any way NOT TO USE Launchpad under Ubuntu 11.04 (ie. replace with the traditional style taskbar and ubuntu menu)?!

I am extremely disappointed about the little flexbility and visibility it offers: I believe the developers have been lost at concept level by thinking that everyone are using tablets / netbooks only...

A number of issues I am encountering:
- size, appearance and position cannot be changed
- open applications cannot be made visible on a taskbar or similar place
- no icons can be placed on the desktop anymore
- window buttons will switch to left side, regardless of metacity settings (I prefer them to be on the right side)
- in general: any systems with screens offering adequate vertical space the alterations are USELESS and against productivity.

I am sorry that I needed to express such dismay, but this far Ubuntu developers at least have offered a choice to users and did not forced them use such solutions, which were completely uncomfortable, unproductive and - on user level - unchangeable.

Please provide some guidance in regards of removing this or confirm that it cannot be done, that I can get rid of the whole system then.

Many thanks.
