Thanks a lot, that seemed to work. I still have my old panels present though, underneath the gnome-shell panels.

Did you try this from
http://live.gnome.org/GnomeShell/SwatList ?

"...open /usr/bin/compiz and change the last line to
"${COMPIZ_BIN_PATH}${COMPIZ_NAME} $COMPIZ_OPTIONS "$@" $COMPIZ_PLUGINS #
|| exec $FALLBACKWM $FALLBACKWM_OPTIONS" (that is, commenting out the
fallback respawn)."

This works for me (though note that there seem to be some rendering
problems at the moment.
