That seems to be things to expect for such major upgrade: gnome2 -> gnome3.
It is practically impossible to take care a non-regular transition of
such minor details.

If you wish to move to gnome3 while on tesing/unstable system, you need
to deal such transition yourself for each account on the system as I
understand. If you do not like to deal with such complication, please
keep using Debian stable.
Of course, if you can come up with bug-free robust transition script from
gnome2 to gnome3, please file wishlist bug with your proposed script. I
am sure that the maintainer will include it as an example script or so.
