Gnome-shell (and GNOME3) is still in a very bare state in most of the
distributions. I have it installed on opeSUSE 11.4 and the environment,
while usable, lacks for many of the features I'm used to with GNOME2.
In openSUSE there is a control center where you can tweak some basic
aspects of the gnome-shell (display, keyboard, mouse, language...) so I
would expect this is also available in Debian and the rest of the
distributions. If not, it's just a matter of time :-)
There is also a "gnome3-tweak" tool to set some options of the
gnome-shell itself (themes and style, buttons on the upper bar, font
face and size, etc...) but I'm not sure if this has been landed yet in
Debian :-?
GNOME3 does not like much the usage of icons (although they are pretty
big) so search for "display" in the search box and see if something
appears. Anyway, almost all applications can be reached by enabling
the "activites" or applications bar.
