Here is what I did about anything GNOME with version number higher than
3.

aptitude purge <package>

Purged all related liabraries. Ran deborphan. Made sure that every thing
related gtk too is purged. 

Removed all references in sources.list to experimental / unstable. 

Installed GNOME again. Made sure not run full upgrades ever since. 

So, now, I am left gnome terminal 3.0.1. And almost everything else
gnome / GTK is 2.XX.XX. 

I loved Gnome shell during the days it was on my system - nice eye
candy. But I hate (a) lack of themability, (b) absence of a shut down
button, and (3) that sensitive spot on top left hand corner. ( have a
small vision problem, and always take the mouse to that spot and bring
it back to where I want it).

It also depends on nvidia's drivers which are in non-free, and I need to
spend tiem building the nvidia modules. I really do not need much eye
candy; very happy with what the nouveau drivers provide me. 

YMMV.
