Ubuntu 11.10 uses GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use
GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package andi nvestigate
"gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME
2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the
Sessions drowpdown

Ok for further reference, if anyone wants to remove that annoying Unity Launch panel heres how:
1. open a terminal window
2. type: sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager

This will install a program to modify Unity

3. In the terminal now run:
ccsm -p "unityshell"

sudo apt-get install gnome-session-fallback gnome-panel

Log off then log into the new session
