First thing I did as well! Note that from the main login screen, you can
select "Ubuntu Classic" and then from there, go to the Login Screen
administration tool using the old menus... and then set Ubuntu Classic
as the default session.

Not sure I will ever be able to get used to Unity. :)

Turning on the Compiz effects was an interesting challenge as well. Had
to do it in the right order... but it works. My 11.04 now looks like my
old 10.10 but with the updated software, and Libre Office!
