** Description changed:

  fedora 17/18 have gnome-shell running with software rendering
  (llvmpipe). On Ubuntu gnome-shell will only run when hardware 3D is
  available.
  
  This would be particularly useful for the ubuntu gnome live CD's
+ 
+ llvmpipe is currently blacklisted in gnome-session hardware-compatibility. 
+ /usr/share/gnome-session/hardware-compatibility
+ 
+ Removing the blacklisting, is enough to get both gdm and gnome-shell
+ running with llvmpipe (no fallback mode!). I have tested this in a VM
+ and performance seems ok, definitely useable. It is atleast as fast as
+ the equivalent Unity session, if not a little faster.
