How about: Go troll elsewhere.
Of course you can switch between Gnome 2's session with panels, metacity and everything and gnome-shell with mutter and company. I never really saw Ubuntu's desktop in action but there's no real reason why would not you be able to switch to that as well. At least I see no reason why would you not be able to run gnome 3 shell on top of ubuntu.
