It's not a general problem with Gnome 3. Hibernate and suspend both
work correctly here (though I could do without briefly seeing a
console screen during the process) and shell is snappy, with no
visible rendering artefacts of any kind:

- up-to-date F15 Beta
- GPU: nVidia 9800GT
- nouveau drivers

A few days ago I tried a multihead setup. Gnome shell worked
perfectly, though the resolutions for the second monitor and the
inital GDM screen were not picked up correctly by X.
