Sorry for the delay, I have Gnome Shell working again! I used
the /etc/apt/preferences file to force apt to upgrade all the
dependencies of gnome-shell to the highest available.

I don’t have the GNOME 2 option when I login, I think this is because I
have the latest version of gnome-session installed.
