I added the unity-2d ppa and installed it using the Software Center, then I logged in to the unity-2d desktop but I still see the traditional desktop. I have selected the "Unity 2D" session from the login screen list.

What should I do to get the unity-2d desktop?

When you logged in, before you typed in your password and clicked "Login," did you select Unity 2D from the Sessions list? – Jonathan Feb 12 '11 at 13:55
yes, I'm not that stupid ;) – user10693 Feb 12 '11 at 13:55

Unity 2d is very unfinished, this should probably be a bug report: askubuntu.com/questions/5121/how-do-i-report-a-bug – Jorge Castro Feb 12 '11 at 20:23

This question is unlikely to ever help any future visitors; it is only relevant to a small geographic area, a specific moment in time, or an extraordinarily narrow situation that is not generally applicable to the worldwide audience of the internet. See the FAQ for guidance on how to improve it.

Make sure places, launcher, spread and panel are installed. Use Synaptic package manager it also appears to need a lot of libraries as well. – robin0800 Feb 12 '11 at 13:40
