How do I switch from Unity 3D to Unity 2D in Oneiric Ocelot?

[James Buchanan]

This's a bit of a kludge, but you can activate Unity 2d with key-commands,
which shouldn't require sighted help. When the password comes up, press tab
to go over to the session button, spacebar to open the menu, down button
twice and press enter to select Ubuntu 2d, and then press tab to get back
to the password field. Fortunately, you should only have to do that
once...Ubuntu should remember your session and log you into Unity 2d every
time thereafter.
