[Jhondis <734563@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

For those that want to or are having trouble running/installing Gnome3 here are the steps I followed and it installed perfectly.
I am currently running Ubuntu 11.04 with the latest updates.

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

As with others this breaks the default Ubuntu Session

I fixed this by editing /usr/share/xsessions/gnome.desktop
change the line Exec=gnome-session --session=ubuntu to
Exec=gnome-session --session=gnome

I also added a link to /usr/share/applications/gnome-shell.desktop in
~/.local/share/applications

In the GDM it still says ubuntu not gnome-shell but thats okay for me

I hope this helps

Title:
  [gnome3] Upgrading to Gnome3 PPA breaks Ubuntu theme defaults

Status in “gsettings-desktop-schemas” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gsettings-desktop-schemas

  Installing the Gnome 3 Team PPA on Natty and upgrading breaks the
  default theming used by Ubuntu Classic & the new Unity desktop
  environments by setting the icon-theme to gnome and the gtk-theme to
  Adwaita. And because gnome-control-center currently doesn't have an
  applet to change the theme, it is difficult for users to figure out
  how to get things back to normal.

  It looks like Gnome 3 ignores the previous gconf interface settings
  and only reads the dconf ones.

  For Ubuntu, the dconf default org.gnome.interface.icon-theme should be
  ubuntu-mono-dark and org.gnome.interface.gtk-theme should be Ambiance.

  I believe Ubuntu sets the default gconf themes in the ubuntu-artwork
  package so I don't know if this should be fixed there.
