All of the above are most likely homegrown issues or at least distro 
specific issues. I suggest you consult with your distros experts. A 
sidenote, I use Debian sid myself with gnome (shell and fallback mode) 
on several machines and have none of the issues you describe.
And as I am german too, I suggest you subscribe to the german Debian 
user mailinglist, see: http://lists.debian.org
From personal experience, this list is really helpful.
