The default desktop environment of Ubuntu 12.10 or later is Unity.
Maybe you need a GNOME session fallback installed on the system.
Ubuntu 12.10 introduces two different types of GNOME session fallback.
The default fallback is named 'GNOME Classic' and there is also the
GNOME Classic (No effects) fallback.
The gnome-session-fallback package, valid for Ubuntu 12.10 and later
versions:
$ sudo apt-get install gnome-session-fallback
GNOME classic (No effects) will then be made available.
DefaultDesktopCommand "/etc/X11/Xsession gnome-session-fallback"
I have not tried this myself, and the info came from
www.nomachine.com/AR07K00676

I don't use jhbuild, I install built source code to a prefix under my<BR>

I tried this in Ubuntu but it started complaining about tons of dependencies to \
replace in the system, starting from Gnome3 related packages, webkit, fontconfig, \
glib, gnutls, gobject-introspection, gstreamer, gtk+, gvfs, libnotify, libsoup, \
librest, pango, polkit, etc. etc. Maybe these are not all needed... \
