Big problems with gnomeshell over on the orca list, standard advice is to remove gnomeshell and everything pretty much returns to normal. You do understand you're using a version of gnome Linus Torvalds won't have on any of his computers because he considers it too inferior and he's gone on over to xfce.

The upgrade apparently took Gnome from 2 to 3 and the "infamous" Gnome Shell.I dunno what could have happened (is gnome-shell already available in sid? oh, my, here it comes...) but if 3D acceleration is not available, gnome should enter into a "fallback" mode (kinda gnome2 desktop) and do not use/load gnome-shell at all.
It's a good thing I normally use IceWm on the desktop :)Jude<jdashiel@shellworld.net> If I got a nickel for every message I've already sent supporting Microsoft Windows and its applications I'd have enough to retire on comfortably no matter what the stock market did.
Another update came through later....about 8 new packages and now at least the desktop loads. Half the stuff is still missing. We'll see what happens in the days ahead. I rarely use Gnome anyway. But now I am curious.
