That seems to be things to expect for such major upgrade: gnome2 -> gnome3. It is practically impossible to take care a non-regular transition of such minor details. > Dunno if this is a bug with the current debian state of things, or a > general problem with gnome3.

If you wish to move to gnome3 while on tesing/unstable system, you need to deal such transition yourself for each account on the system as I understand. If you do not like to deal with such complication, please keep using Debian stable. Of course, if you can come up with bug-free robust transition script from gnome2 to gnome3, please file wishlist bug with your proposed script. I am sure that the maintainer will include it as an example script or so. Regards, Osamu -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
