Package: gnome-shell Version: 3.4.2-1 Severity: important Tags: patch The current README.Debian is from 2009 which talks about non-existing --xephyr option and meant to be used under GNOME2. This is better to be removed for wheezy release.
Since many people will be looking for POWER-OFF menu, it may be even better idea to put an updated content aiming to address these via extension packages and URL links. I think it is important to release wheezy with something along attached patch on README.Debian for GNOME shell to give peace of mind for many GNOME3 uses. Osamu PS: I was defector to XFce at one point and came back to GNOME after 3.4. With many extension installed, it is as productive as GNOME2 days. (I still see frozen keyboard input, though ... This may be IM problem... OMG my problem ....) -- System Information: Debian Release: wheezy/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (10, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.5-trunk-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Versions of packages gnome-shell depends on: ii dconf-gsettings-backend [gsettings-backend] 0.12.1-2 ii gconf-service 3.2.5-1+build1 ii gir1.2-accountsservice-1.0 0.6.21-6 ii gir1.2-atk-1.0 2.4.0-2 ii gir1.2-caribou-1.0 0.4.2-2 ii gir1.2-clutter-1.0 1.10.8-2 ii gir1.2-cogl-1.0 1.10.2-6 ii gir1.2-coglpango-1.0 1.10.2-6 ii gir1.2-folks-0.6 0.6.9-1+b1 ii gir1.2-freedesktop 1.32.1-1 ii gir1.2-gconf-2.0 3.2.5-1+build1 ii gir1.2-gcr-3 3.4.1-3 ii gir1.2-gdesktopenums-3.0 3.4.2-1 ii gir1.2-gdkpixbuf-2.0 2.26.1-1 ii gir1.2-gee-1.0 0.6.4-2 ii gir1.2-gkbd-3.0 3.4.0.2-1 ii gir1.2-glib-2.0 1.32.1-1 ii gir1.2-gmenu-3.0 3.4.2-3 ii gir1.2-gnomebluetooth-1.0 3.4.2-1 ii gir1.2-gtk-3.0 3.4.2-3 ii gir1.2-json-1.0 0.14.2-1 ii gir1.2-mutter-3.0 3.4.1-5 ii gir1.2-networkmanager-1.0 0.9.4.0-5 ii gir1.2-pango-1.0 1.30.0-1 ii gir1.2-polkit-1.0 0.105-1 ii gir1.2-soup-2.4 2.38.1-2 ii gir1.2-telepathyglib-0.12 0.18.2-1 ii gir1.2-telepathylogger-0.2 0.4.0-1 ii gir1.2-upowerglib-1.0 0.9.17-1 ii gjs 1.32.0-2 ii gnome-bluetooth 3.4.2-1 ii gnome-icon-theme-symbolic 3.4.0-2 ii gnome-settings-daemon 3.4.2-4+b1 ii gnome-shell-common 3.4.2-1 ii gnome-themes-standard 3.4.2-1 ii gsettings-desktop-schemas 3.4.2-1 ii libatk1.0-0 2.4.0-2 ii libc6 2.13-35 ii libcairo-gobject2 1.12.2-2 ii libcairo2 1.12.2-2 ii libcanberra0 0.28-4 ii libclutter-1.0-0 1.10.8-2 ii libcogl-pango0 1.10.2-6 ii libcogl9 1.10.2-6 ii libcroco3 0.6.5-1 ii libdbus-1-3 1.6.2-2 ii libdbus-glib-1-2 0.100-1 ii libebook-1.2-13 3.4.3-1 ii libecal-1.2-11 3.4.3-1 ii libedataserver-1.2-16 3.4.3-1 ii libedataserverui-3.0-1 3.4.3-1 ii libffi5 3.0.10-3 ii libfolks25 0.6.9-1+b1 ii libgck-1-0 3.4.1-3 ii libgconf-2-4 3.2.5-1+build1 ii libgcr-3-1 3.4.1-3 ii libgdk-pixbuf2.0-0 2.26.1-1 ii libgee2 0.6.4-2 ii libgirepository-1.0-1 1.32.1-1 ii libgjs0b [libgjs0-libmozjs185-1.0] 1.32.0-2 ii libgl1-mesa-glx [libgl1] 8.0.4-1 ii libglib2.0-0 2.32.3-1 ii libgnome-keyring0 3.4.1-1 ii libgnome-menu-3-0 3.4.2-3 ii libgstreamer0.10-0 0.10.36-1 ii libgtk-3-0 3.4.2-3 ii libical0 0.48-2 ii libjson-glib-1.0-0 0.14.2-1 ii libmozjs185-1.0 1.8.5-1.0.0+dfsg-3.1 ii libmutter0 3.4.1-5 ii libnm-glib4 0.9.4.0-5 ii libnm-util2 0.9.4.0-5 ii libnspr4 2:4.9.2-1 ii libnspr4-0d 2:4.9.2-1 ii libp11-kit0 0.12-3 ii libpango1.0-0 1.30.0-1 ii libpolkit-agent-1-0 0.105-1 ii libpolkit-gobject-1-0 0.105-1 ii libpulse-mainloop-glib0 2.0-5 ii libpulse0 2.0-5 ii libsoup2.4-1 2.38.1-2 ii libstartup-notification0 0.12-1 ii libtelepathy-glib0 0.18.2-1 ii libtelepathy-logger2 0.4.0-1 ii libx11-6 2:1.5.0-1 ii libxcomposite1 1:0.4.3-2 ii libxdamage1 1:1.1.3-2 ii libxext6 2:1.3.1-2 ii libxfixes3 1:5.0-4 ii libxi6 2:1.6.1-1 ii libxml2 2.8.0+dfsg1-5 ii python 2.7.3-2 ii telepathy-mission-control-5 1:5.12.1-2 Versions of packages gnome-shell recommends: ii gnome-contacts 3.4.1-1+b1 ii gnome-control-center 1:3.4.2-2 ii gnome-session-fallback 3.4.2.1-1 ii gnome-user-guide 3.4.2-1+build1 gnome-shell suggests no packages. -- no debconf information
