Rebuilt Gnome-Shell today and I'm glad to see Cantarell on the Top Menu. 
 The font size is just right for my 1440 x 900 display.  I also don't 
have a problem with the clock being centred.

Looking at the screenshot you took, you have an additional menu item 
(Desktop) in 'activities' mode.  I don't see that in mine and I just 
built this.  Is there something I'm missing?  That functionality is so 
essential to Gnome-shell.  I also noticed that you have monochrome icons 
on the top panel whereas mine has colours with different odd sizes. I 
must be missing something (or my icon-theme may not be compliant ... I 
use Buuf).  Which one is that?

I don't feel too good about the animation that plays at the top left 
(for applications that are starting).  The icon for that is huge.  I 
think we should revisit that animation and think out a better option.

So far so good.  Actually, I don't do the old desktop managers any more. 
 Gnome-shell is the destination for me right now.
