Here is what I did about anything GNOME with version number higher than
3.
aptitude purge <package>
Purged all related liabraries. Ran deborphan. Made sure that every thing
related gtk too is purged.
Removed all references in sources.list to experimental / unstable.
Installed GNOME again. Made sure not run full upgrades ever since.
So, now, I am left gnome terminal 3.0.1. And almost everything else
gnome / GTK is 2.XX.XX.
I loved Gnome shell during the days it was on my system - nice eye
candy. But I hate (a) lack of themability, (b) absence of a shut down
button, and (3) that sensitive spot on top left hand corner. ( have a
small vision problem, and always take the mouse to that spot and bring
it back to where I want it).
It also depends on nvidia's drivers which are in non-free, and I need to
spend tiem building the nvidia modules. I really do not need much eye
candy; very happy with what the nouveau drivers provide me.
YMMV.
