I don't think this is the right place to convey this information.  The
installation experience is targeted at new users who in all likelihood
have no previous experience using Unity or GNOME, and thus throwing this
in front of them would, I presume, only lead to confusion on why they
have to make such a decision.

Equally, the slideshow is a place to highlight key features of the
operating system and community, of which this is not.

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu

It is important to advertise that Ubuntu still include the "Ubuntu Classic Desktop" in 11.04, and since the GDM session manager is not exactly obvious, i propose showing it featured on the Ubiquity Slide Show for Ubuntu Natty Desktop, and also in the "New to Ubuntu?" section of help and support, see below:

* A slide during the instillation of Ubuntu should demonstrate how one can log-into either the 'Ubuntu Classic Desktop' or standard 'Ubuntu Desktop Edition'.
* This should also be included in the help documentation, preferably between the "Welcome to Ubuntu" page and the "Getting around the desktop" page, with a page title such as "Login into Ubuntu".

I have never used bazaar before, or created a patch, but i will give this a go, support and guidance would be greatly appreciated (as would someone taking over ;) lol)
