Classic mode is a joke. I've tried it briefly on F19 and only agree with http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showpost.php?s=d8e300363d613f371d2f39a913480ca9&p=1654983&postcount=2.

Fiddling around with this extension and that extension for 28 days to get a usable desktop is not an option (although Gallagher's review is quite good in most regards, http://sgallagh.wordpress.com/2013/05/30/one-week-with-gnome-3-classic-prologue/.
