Two things changed today to help fix the problems: more gnome package updates were committed overnight, and I changed my make.profile from plain "desktop" to "desktop/gentoo". I spent all day today fixing and working around problems, though. Mostly conflicting package slots, conflicting useflags, and two gnome packages that won't compile. I'm pooped, but gnome-shell is actually working now! Tomorrow: I start installing gnome-shell extensions :/ BTW, gnome-base/gnome-fallback doesn't work for me any longer, but there are recent gnome-shell extensions that do similar things. BTW #2, I had to start with a clean home directory with no gnome stuff left over from before the update, otherwise the loveable and very cuddly "Oh No! Something has gone very wrong and you're now screwed" icon pops up. I'll try to narrow down the guilty config files tomorrow
