Hi,
just search in the list, I've seen a couple of discussions already.
to cut the long story short:
Yes, Gnome3 will be in Wheezy instead of Gnome2.
close alternatives:
Xfce - worth a try,
Mate - the fork of gnome2 - not in Debian, you'll need to install it
from an external repository.
Regards,
Alex
