Well, I have played around with fallback mode a bit now, and I have to
admit that it seems very unstable, with the panel crashing all the time,
and there are just too many feature of GNOME 2, which don't work anymore
as expected, so it is probably not such a good idea to encourage its use.
Thanks,
Johannes

It's worth keeping in mind that the fallback mode the Gnome developers
had provided in 3.0-3.6 is being removed in 3.8, in favour of a
strictly gnome-shell based desktop. Even on systems that lack hardware
acceleration, software rendering of these elements is reportedly very
quick.
They are adding a few officially supported extensions to the shell
that can optionally make the experience a bit more like Gnome 2.x, but
almost certainly less than that of the old fallback mode.

Dear GNOME developers,
I really appreaciate that there is a fallback mode in Wheezy, as I
have
difficulties coming to terms with the GNOME shell. Now, what
strikes me
is the, in my view ugly appearance of the panel and the panel
applets. It seems to me like they are using the dark sub-theme of
Adwaita, which may be o.k. for the GNOME Shell, but just doesn't look
right in the fallback mode. I think everyone upgrading from
squeeze and
choosing GNOME classic would be in for a shock at its appearance.
Wouldn't it be possible to force the panel an the applets to use the
light Adwaita appearance by default? Honestly, I have been trying to
figure out how to do that and was unable to get around it, so
that's why
I though I could suggest this to you (Else, would anyone have a
suggestion how I can get that done myself locally?)
Thanks, and keep up the good work!
Johannes
