Well it has been 4 or is it 5 days since the switch to 3 started on this sid system..and , while it sort of resembles my old gnome desktop (if you squint and ignore much stuff) it seems it's gonna be awhile before it is what I'd consider completely functional.

By the way, the gnome-tweak tool sort of configure gnome3...but usually gnome ignores what you've changed. I am going to file a bug as soon as I figure out what's going on.
