How To Replace Unity with Gnome Shell via Ubuntu Software Center?

IMHO, Unity is just as productive and functional as Gnome Shell, and since for me, Gnome Shell looks a lot more stylish, I would like to replace Unity in Ubuntu 11.10 with Gnome Shell.

EDIT: Without a further thought, I opened the Ubuntu Software Center > searched "Gnome Shell" and installed it. And since I use auto-login, Ubuntu logs-me-into Unity.

To prevent that...

I want to uninstall Unity completely. How do I do that?

After doing the above, Gnome Shell loads by default right?

Log out.

Then, in the lightdm greeter click on the gear symbol and click on "Gnome". This will load the gnome-shell desktop.

To set gnome-shell as default, open a terminal and type

sudo /usr/lib/lightdm/lightdm-set-defaults -s gnome-shell
