[Usability] gnome3 shell now installed.

Managed to finally get gnome3 shell installed last night.

Observations:

1. font size too big for screen size.   Might want to detect screen size and shrink baseline fonts depending on resolution. '9' for instance is reasonable on 1366x768

2. no way to turn off lock-on-resume.  (suspend/resume).

3. Icons are fuzzy and hard to make out.   (I miss the gnome2 icons - especially for power management, ibus, and sound)

4. Character palette needs to have a short item on its pulldown - say - one character.   It takes an excessive amount of screen space otherwise.  (the default is half the top bar)

5. Under gnome-session-fallback, search is gone.  THIS IS GOOD.   Not everyone needs 'search' and personally I only ever use it on my email.

I haven't checked - does gnome console save session yet?   That's something that was very badly messed up in gnome2.   I completely lost the threads on several projects due to this.
Gnome-session-fallback otherwise works great on this netbook.
