Well, I use Natty without UbuntuOne and Unity simply by removing their packages:
sudo apt-get remove ubuntuone-* sudo apt-get remove unity-common liboverlay-scrollbar-* appmenu-gtk sudo apt-get remove indicator-applet-appmenu indicator-appmenu
This won't work for Oneiric, but I expect it to work in Maverick. Please try it and leave a comment about your results!
I also deactivate the resize-gripper-hack (so that apps like StickyNotes work correctly again) by copying these 8 lines into a Terminal:
cat <<EOF >>~/.gtkrc-2.0 style "default-style" { GtkWindow::resize-grip-height = 0 GtkWindow::resize-grip-width = 0 } class "GtkWidget" style "default-style" EOF
You have to logout and login to see the difference! To revert the changes just reinstall the packages and remove the 8 lines from ~/.gtkrc-2.0
