I should have elaborated.
+ 'Fallback' suggests to me a case or an eventuality that shouldn't
happen, and provides the minimum functionality in case it does.
+ 'Classic' suggests to me a slightly less featured version of a
program, but one that probably provides the same functionality even if
not the ideal interface.
Failback suggests to me the expectation that GNOME + metacity will not
be required. I think that it will be required often enough to not
call it a fallback. The word "Classic" suggests a slight
recommendation against use, but doesn't carry a strong negative
connotation.
My opinion is completely semantically subjective , it is the
connotation I have with the terms and what I perceive of the user
experience. Your millage (and the users') may vary greatly.
