That works - I checked DESKTOP_SESSION first:

lance@lance-desktop:~$ echo $DESKTOP_SESSION
gnome-classic
lance@lance-desktop:~$ gnome-shell --mode=classic --replace
libGL error: Version 4 or later of flush extension not found
libGL error: failed to load driver: i915

Of course as soon as you close the terminal it kills the session. That

If you want me to file a bug report what package should I file against?
