"At all costs"? Whether such possibility exists, the price will be very 
high ;-)

I would suggest against going that way. I'd better (in order of 
preference):

1/ Give gnome-shell a chance, it deserves it.
2/ Use the fallback (now "classical") desktop. With higher doses of 
patience it can be very configurable and enjoyable but remember it won't 
last forever.
3/ Keep Squeeze until it's unsupported.
4/ Choose another DE/WM.
