I wish to remove unity, there is no option to sign into my old desktop on my new (two) 11.04 upgrades.

Asked by Daniel Sprouse

I have multiple machines running Ubuntu, two of which I upgraded (updegraded?) to 11.04. They were set up to sign in automatically since I am the only user. When I log out there is no option to login with a different session type. I can get a good part of my good and wonderful old desktop back by starting gnome-panel, but still all of the windows are lacking a menu bar, which is really and truly unacceptable. Any answers? Thanks and/or please as the case may be...

it gave me back my menu bar on apps (Yay, Team,) but it took away the personalized main menu changes I had collected over the ages, but I can find those and restore them without much hassle.
