The problem you describe only concerns the first time the user will try
GNOME 3. Given this, I don't consider a major issue that the user might
need a few seconds to understand where things happen. Since there are
not many buttons to try, and that there's a big button in the top right
corner saying "Activities", it's reasonable to assume the user will think
"oh, that's where I should go" before too long without highlighting.

Have you done some user testing to support your thesis that it's not the
case?
