Once built, I was surprised how there were only a small number of problems I had to solve, namely the dbus starting up and the video driver. Even the audio worked off the bat. I could only get gnome-shell to work with the nvidia drivers. The nv drivers just didn't cut it, they kept going back to fallback mode. Another suprise(?) move is that gnome-screensaver has all it's screensavers removed. You only get a blank screen. I think this piece is still in a transition state. Let us know how you go. Wayne.
