It ignores the settings for auto login. Well, I have finally managed to leave gnome-shell at a mostly usable stage for my netbook. Wow... it took me an hour: installed gnome-tweak-tools and did some basic customizations for the environment (restore gnome desktop and min/max buttons, adjusted the font face/size for applications...) and finally the last big step, manually edited "/usr/share/gnome-shell/theme/gnome- shell.css" (hint: before modifying this file it is recommended to make a copy of the original one, because any error in this CSS will render gnome- shell unable to load, although fallback mode is still able to start). After editing the CSS file, to apply the changes, Alt+F2 (to run a command) and type "r", this will reload the shell. After that, I made a copy of the modified CSS file just in case an update destroys my working hour and finally now I feel *much much much* better :-) I still have to make some adjustments, such as removing that blurry shadow that is projected around every window, remove a second shadow which is visible for the text label of the desktop icons and remove the accessibility icon from the top bar. In the end not that bad as it seemed but heck, until there is a tool to properly manage these settings from a more suitable place, it's very annoying to manually customize the UI.
