How do I use the GNOME Panel in Unity?

I was very used to the window-picker-applet in previous Ubuntu releases and I don't think I will get used to the new unity dock.

Is there a window-picker-applet replacement in 11.10 that shows the open windows icons on the panel?

EDIT: I was looking for som way to only have the top panel and nothing else but I have given up and now I am trying to get used with the unity launcher. One other thing that would be nice is if there where a way to make the launcher smaller than 32 pixels.

11.10

  1. If you haven't already, you can install gnome-session-fallback, log out, select GNOME Classic at the login screen, and login. There will be a window picker in the panel.

    Hope this helps.

  2. There are many panels to choose from. Gnome Panel 3 is available, but far from as mature as Gnome Panel 2. Xfce4 has a nice panel. So does LXDE. All three can be run with Unity.

    I provided a rather extensive answer to this here: How to have the Taskbar with Unity at the same time?. It provides details on how to install, try and remove all those three panels.
