Hi all,
I would be interested in testing *provided* though that the new
versions of metacity and gnome-panel are debianized and have clear
instructions as to how the installation should be.

An alternative way could be if @Dmitry Shachnev would upload the new
versions of metacity and gnome-panel indicating that they have some
fixes that need testing before going to sid and testing. In both there
is nothing in experimental branch for both the binaries.

 $ apt-show-versions -a metacity
metacity:amd64 1:2.34.13-1 install ok installed
metacity:amd64 1:2.34.13-1 jessie   debian.ec.as6453.net
No testing-updates version
metacity:amd64 1:2.34.13-1 unstable debian.ec.as6453.net
No experimental version

$ apt-show-versions -a gnome-panel
gnome-panel:amd64 3.8.0-3+b1 install ok installed
gnome-panel:amd64 3.8.0-3+b1 jessie   debian.ec.as6453.net
No testing-updates version
gnome-panel:amd64 3.8.0-3+b1 unstable debian.ec.as6453.net
No experimental version
gnome-panel:amd64/jessie 3.8.0-3+b1 uptodate

I have sources for sid and exp. in my /etc/apt/sources.list

I did read about gnome-applets on the gnome-flashback page but it's
rather thin on which applets are good.

Look forward to a new release in experimental (and hopefully they will
build with all the transitions taking place for GNOME 3.12 to come to
jessie.)

Till l8er.
