Public bug reported:

I have Oneiric installed and have gnome shell installed as well. I have
Dell 64 bit laptop with a Nvidia GeForce GT 540 graphics card. However,
whenever I login to gnome instead of Unity, I get to see the old style
two panel gnome environment. As I understand, I should be getting the
Gnome 3 interface.

Currently, I have disabled the proprietary Nvidia drivers because if I
enable it, then I will not be able to login into Ubuntu. The GUI gets
stuck with the proprietary drivers enabled.
