Then open a bug report for that. I mean, for nouveu failing.
Nouveau driver is the only nvidia driver officially supported for gnome-
shell, if it does not work we are completely stuck (kernel devels tend to
reject bug reports when closed drivers are "tainting" the kernel).

When gnome-shell refuses to load for whatever reason, it prints anything
to ~/.xsession-errors". Upload this file somewhere so we can review it.
Also, check the content of /var/log/syslog and /var/log/dmesg not just /
var/log/Xorg.0.log
