Support for "GNOME Classic (No effects)"

[.]

Regarding the 2D support removal for 3.8 and later: I like the 'GNOME
Classic (No effects)' mode as it is, so maybe a 'simple' (=adding always
this same mode) patch for 3.8 and later would be enough and not much
work. Oh, and even better: GNOME Team, do not remove this mode ;) *3D
doesn't belong on desktop, to much power use, too loudly fans*
Thanks, clear so far.
