Title:
  Gnome in fallback mode in Oneiric with proprietary AMD driver and
  Radeon 5870

Status in “gnome-session” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  When I attempt to login to Oneiric with a Gnome desktop, I get the
  following dialog popup up.

  "Unfortunately GNOME 3 failed to start properly and started in the fallback mode.
  This most likely means your system (graphics hardware or driver) is not capable of delivering the full GNOME 3 experience."

  I have the proprietary AMD 3D driver installed and activated according
  to jockey.

  I was able to run Unity 3D desktop but was getting some flicker on my
  second monitor so decided to try Gnome 3.

  All the latest updates have been applied.
