Hi,
Is it possible that graphics accelleration and software freedom issues
still prevent Trisquel from adopting the GNOME Shell as the default ui?
I'm glad Rubin chose to keep the Classic look as the default, and
offers the option of adding the GNOME Shell for users whose hardware can
work with it. Is Unity-2D also in the repositories?
In GNOME 3.4.2, the accessibility of the shell is much-improved over
that of GNOME 3.2.1. As a user of Orca for text-to-speech
accessibility, I can tell you, the Classic session is still more
accessible than is the shell, but the shell is usable. For people who
need screen magnification, I think the shell is better; they can use
GNOME's built-in system, rather than having to install the compiz e-zoom
plugin. All they need do is switch on the magnifier in gnome control
center; this can be bound to a keyboard shortcut, as in distros like
Vinux and Sonar.
Cheers,
Dave Hunt

I haven't heard exactly why for Toutatis. But in Brigantia there were
a number of reasons of which the main ones were accessibility and 3D
support. It seems reasonable to guess that as Toutatis's code base is
from early 2012 and that was when Gnome's year of accessibility
started that gnome-shell could well not be good enough for this
release.
Still you can get gnome-shell by installing the gnome-session package
and selecting a 'GNOME' session at the login screen, so if you want it
you can have it.
