I had a conversation whith a Gnome-evangelist at the Linuxtag yesterday 
and I assure you: Gnome3 would be a major break of concept compared to 
Ubustudio with Gnome2.

XFCE is indeed the best choice available if Ubuntu Studio shall have a 
user interface as known from the versions made with Gnome2.

So in short: I think Scott is right, the change to XFCE is wise, 9 out 
of 10 users will like it...
