>>>               + Added desktop theme.
>>>               + Added gdm3 theme.
>>>               + Added GRUB theme.
>>>               + Added icon theme.
>>>               + Added installer theme.
>>>               + Added documentation <http://gnsaurora.rtfd.org/>.

A similar bug has been reported to Debian already:

http://www.mail-archive.com/debian-bugs-dist%40lists.debian.org/msg1076025.html

This one has been reported as well:

And, no, the reason why Debian uses "session-name='gdm-fallback'" by
default is because "session-name='gdm-shell'" requires a compatible 3D
graphics card (see section 5.4 in Debian Wheezy release notes) <
http://www.debian.org/releases/wheezy/i386/release-notes/ch-information.en.html
>.
