Sorry for chiming in after being not-so-active for a while, but I’m
afraid this transition cannot be done, as things stand, independently
from the core GNOME components.

Nautilus 3.0 removes the code to automount filesystems, so it needs to
migrate together with gnome-settings-daemon. In turn, g-s-d needs to be
synchronized with (at least) glib2.0, gvfs, gnome-control-center, gdm3,
gnome-media, gnome-power-manager, gnome-screensaver, and gnome-session.

The alternative is to backport the necessary changes in g-s-d (which
sounds insane) or to re-add the necessary support in nautilus (which is
far from trivial).

Also, if we’re able to, I wonder whether it’s possible to migrate
gnome-panel first - otherwise it will have to go with the rest.
