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

[James Buchanan]

Hmm...I think I was wrong, since trying

$ sudo service stop lightdm
$ emacs .dmrc
...replace ubuntu with ubuntu-2d...
$sudo service start lightdm

and then logging off (since it started me back logged in, for some reason)
and back on seems to work. I honestly can't believe I didn't try that
before. I think the .dmrc is being written when the lightdm service stops
and then read when the service starts...i.e., simply being logged off won't
do, the service has to be completely stopped.

Still want me to file a bug report? It doesn't really seem to be a bug,
just an incredibly annoying feature.
