That's not an option in 11.10 or later.

I have two 21" monitors, myself. I find Unity takes /less/ space than
GNOME 2 did.

GNOME 2 is dead. No matter if you upgrade to 11.10 or do a clean
install, GNOME 2 is removed. This will also be true in 12.04 - GNOME 2
is not coming back.

If you really want a two-panel desktop, then install Xubuntu. If you
have already installed 11.10, then do:

sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop

... Or use Synaptic or the Software Centre, search for the
"xubunto-desktop" package and install it and all its dependences. Then
choose "Xubuntu" at the login screen.
