Wow... it royaly fails. This looks like a pure gnome-shell crashing,
nothing about your VGA 3D (in)capabilities :-)
Lots of applet plugins fail to load and also adwaita theme seems to be
missing (for the Adwaita theme, ensure you have installed "gnome-themes-
standard" package).
I left what I think is (one of the) most relevant error:

This warning looks serious.

As per the above logs, it's "just" gnome-shell crashing.

I don't know where to go from here :-?
Take a look into gnome-shell bugs and/or wait for a fix. Those errors
could be "transient", I mean, there can be still packages or libraries
that need to be updated.

Yeah :-)
And thanks for the heads up, I will have to monitor this gnome-shell
update before it gets into my wheezy. I'm afraid of gnome-shell :-}
