Re: gnome3 now in wheezy?

Hi,
I was under the mistaken impression that wheezy still had a usable
gnome, as opposed to sid which has "upgraded" to gnome3.
So I installed gnome-session on a new wheezy install and got a desktop
with a background with 3 icons on it, computer, home and trash.
But nothing works: there are no applications to select, no settings to
change.
And it seems to be gnome3 because F1 works. It displays a help window
that mentions "gnome3", but of course nothing what it says is true
because nothing is selectable.
Has anybody recently tried installing gnomse-session in wheezy? Is
there a way to "fix" this?
I tried installing gnome-session with "--no-install-recommends" and
without and the results are the same.
I created a mondo backup before installing gnome, so it is trivial to
revert to before the install.

We'll have a lot of bumps these times on Gnome/testing, given the fact
migration
to Gnome 3 is currently happening.
As a temporary solution, I encourage you to head towards XFCE. It
provides the
same level of usability as a stable Gnome environment, and it hasn't
changed a bit,
compared to G. After 20 mins of configuration, you simply won't be able
to tell the
difference :)
