That why i started to move to gnome 3.2, i have try it on my Workstation. Addtional i found some nice extionas that allow me to bring some useable to Gnome 3. 2. But more late, that how i did it. Start with a look on the gnome-base/gnome package, then unmask it.

This will enter some error message, i recommand to use the –autounmask-write to save the time by unmasking. This made end in some resolve error. Sometime it’s no unmask everything in the right way, make sure you got x11-libs/cairo-1.10.2-r2 unmask, i used x11-libs/cairo-1.10.2-r1 and this caused some trouble. When you done, wait till it’s compied. Restart the the Xserver or better the host.
After it, i went to https://extensions.gnome.org, here a list of some extensions i recommand:
Note you need to use Firefox, Chrome has some bug and will not work yet.
My feeling about Gnome 3.2:
I’m very impress, even my Suspend to Ram work almost Perfect. It’s quite workable, there some problem out like some long time for single application to start, links to file browser a broken or sometime you just have to relog. But i like it, it’s smooth working and lots of fun!
