Revert to Gnome2 under Wheezy?

hi

I know that gnome-session-fallback is a kind of little solution, but is it possible to uninstall Gnome3 and revert to Gnome2 under Wheezy?

For example:

Check out MATE, its a fork of the Gnome 2 source tree. http://mate-desktop.org/

This would be my suggestion but be very aware that MATE is not the full Gnome 2. Many packages have had their names changed so you may end up with 2 versions of the same package just with different names, MATE is GTK2 Gnome in Wheezy and its associated applications are GTK3, MATE is a little bit buggy at times but the developer is working on this.

All in all if you are confident working with the occasional bug go for MATE just understand it is in Testing for a reason.
