If you want the old GNOME 2 back, there is a desktop called Mate. It is 
being used by Linux Mint, but can be installed in Ubuntu. It is a GNOME 
2 fork. It is very stable, and the Mate team releases their own 
upgrades/updates to Mate, but they will always keep it a fork of GNOME 
2. It can be installed from the Mate repository, which I am sure you can 
find online. Sorry if this is not what you wanted.

In Christ,
