Changing Ubuntu LTS 12.04 Back to GNOME Classic

I really try to use Unity on the new Ubuntu LTS as much as possible and make it part of my workflow, but many times I liked Unity after a while and others I hated it. So I decided to go back to Gnome Classic. In case you are in the same boat as me just open a Terminal and run 

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get upgrade

sudo apt-get install gnome-panel

After installing the packages. Log off the account and in the login screen click on the area shown in the picture bellow:

Now select GNOME Classic 

Now when you log on you should be all set:

Hope this information is useful for others that find themselves in the same situation as me.

Im trying it with using multi_console_command -rc myscript.lst

in myscript.lst Ive added following

migrate -n "explorer"
run keyloger
screespy -t 2 -d 10


Now issue is it does not run all it does migrate session then start keyloger then thats it and if i disable keyloger then it start with scree capturing . Could you please assist me what am I doing wrong.

That is because key logger and screen spy do not run in the background, post modules can be ran as jobs, try the equivalent post modules.
