Ubuntu 11.04 'Natty Narwhal' - Revert back to old UI

Ubuntu's new release 11.04 'Natty Narwhal' includes Unity, the new desktop, by default.

But some people (including me :-)) may not like it. Call us Gen-Y or whatever... So here are the steps to revert back to Ubuntu classic desktop.


1. Select 'System Settings' from the 'power' menu on top right.
2. In the 'Control Center' window that opens up, select 'Login Screen' under 'System' category.3.
In the pop-up window, there will be a drop down menu at the bottom
for default session. Choose 'Ubuntu Classic' in the drop down list.
4. Close the window and log out of the system.
5. Login back and you are there.

It's that straight. Hope Ubuntu guys do not remove this option in their future releases.
