curaga:
Are you still having fun? ;)

Juanito:
On the graphics front, I discovered that disabling the new "sna" acceleration in favour of the old "uxa" acceleration on my intel hd3000 seems to have fixed the graphics problems with gnome-3:
--- Code: ---$ cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf
...
Section "Device"
   Identifier  "Intel Graphics"
   Driver      "intel"
   Option      "AccelMethod"  "uxa"
EndSection
--- End code ---

..which is the opposite of what everybody else seems to find as per google.

coreplayer2:
interesting..   :)  might have to check it out   
thanks

Juanito:
since it's something of a work in progress, it would be good to have fresh eyes test it.

Note that the gnome-session extension is the one that loads all the required extensions for gnome-3 (rather than the gnome-shell extension).

Juanito:
Tested gnome-session dep chain by burning a cd and booting with no extensions loaded.

Using "tce-load -w gnome-session", it took 35m to parse and download the dep files and 45m to download the extensions, but things worked  8)

To get started:

$ xdg-user-dirs-update
$ echo "dbus-launch --sh-syntax --exit-with-session" > ~/.X.d
$ sudo /usr/local/etc/init.d/dbus start
$ sudo /usr/local/etc/init.d/avahi start [optional]
$ sudo /usr/local/etc/init.d/bluez start [optional]
$ sudo /usr/local/etc/init.d/cups start [optional]
$ sudo /usr/local/etc/init.d/networkmanager start [optional - needs nodhcp bootcode]
$ startx

Notes:
* requires 3d graphics
* gnome-session will start daemons other than those above
* sound via pulseaudio5 - you may need to use alsamixer to unmute sound
* see libcups info file to set up cups-client
* icons at top right bring up gnome-control-center
  * regions and date & time do not work - use standard tc methods
  * sound test does not work, but sound effects do work
  * use bluetooth-wizard to pair
  * no icon shown for wired connection
  * wifi works, but will need driver/firmware for your hardware
* use mac/special/windows key to activate task switcher
  * typing first few letters of an extension name will bring up matching extension icons
  * clicking on 3x3 squares icon on the left will bring up extension groups - tc applets are in "system tools" group
  * dragging extension to the right will create a new desktop with the extension in it
* dconf-editor can be used to change some settings - org.gnone.desktop.interface clock-show-date for example
* <alt-f2> will bring up command line prompt - can be used with gnome-screenshot to take screenshot
* gnome-{clocks,music,weather} extensions need corresponding gir extension loaded in order to work
