I tried this and it didn't work. I get to choose GNOME at login but only
loads background and shows network notifications up right corner.
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo apt-get install gnome-session gnome-shell
I then tested this because my thinking was that Trisquel 7 is based on Ubuntu
14.04 and it will probably work. And it did, after the commands above.

Quoting omgubuntu command:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3-staging
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
I have done some testing on a fresh install and this works for me.
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3-staging
sudo apt-get install gnome-session gnome-shell
(Tested logout and choose Gnome. Same as above. Rebooting)
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
(Log out, choosing Gnome and it works)
Trisquel 7 20140807 i18 amd64 is running Gnome 3.12.2 here.
