I report this as a bug because what happened was highly unexpected.
I have Used Ubuntu with Classic Gnome desktop in all the years w Ubuntu.

My computer has Pentium D processor, 80GB harddisk and 
Nvidia graphic card with 2GB Ram.

This is what happened when I first time used the Ubuntu 11.04.

First I burned the Ubuntu 11.04 CD.
During boot I got message saying my Hardware is not good enough for Unity
and Gnome Classic will be used.
Thats all fine because I prefer Gnome Classic over Unity.

The problem started when I wanted to use my Ubuntu as I am used to.
First I waned to Add to Panel; Dictionary Lookup.
That choice suddenly did not exist. After asking the Ubuntu Community I got to know
this option has been removed from Unity.
But I did not use Unity, only classic Gnome desktop?
After some investigation I found there were programs installed on my system
that refer to Unity.

After removing those programs I am back to Gnome Classic
and no more problems about Unity.

I report this as a bug because this should not happen during install:

First my 2-3 years old Pentium D computer is not too old to run Ubuntu whether
Unity or Classic. I personal prefer Classic but I never got the opportunity to
choose during install.
After classic installed, it seemed there where still some annoying traces from Unity 
like Dictionary Lookup is not on the list over applications "Add to Panel"

Only after search and remove all programs in my system that seems to be
related to Unity did my system function as a normal Ubuntu Gnome classic desktop.

This was highly annoying and  disturbing to me
and it should indeed be reported as a bug.
