Unity drives me nuts as well - worst desktop that I've *ever* used.

When you log in, select the username. At the bottom of the screen you
can select which desktop you'd prefer to use. On my HP G60 laptop I
found that using 'Ubuntu Classic Desktop' crashes and causes multiple
issues (I've not bothered to file bug reports yet as I only boot into it
every few days). The only way that I can get a reliable gnome desktop is
to use 'Ubuntu Classic Desktop (No Effect)'. That, for me is reasonably
stable.
