How can I use the default LightDM login screen with GNOME Shell? [duplicate]

I would like to keep the normal Unity log-in screen and everything.

When I installed GNOME Shell, it seems to have replaced the log-in screen with the GNOME one.

I like jumping between different desktop environments, but I like the Unity log-in screen MUCH more.

Is there a way to only install the most recent GNOME desktop environment, without changing the login screen?

Why don't you just change the login manager back to lightDM? sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm
