In view of these changes, and the fact that this will probably
also not work inside a VM, I would indeed suggest to move to MATE,
as this is a way to advance Gnome2, and gtk3 may be implemented
there, since I suspect that a lot of programs will move to gtk3
in the not so far future. And XFCE as a lightweight alternative
for those who don't need the full-scale desktop.
In the long term, Gnome3 Shell together with full OpenGL is
something that will quickly vanish, only residing as a niche
product in a few mobiles not running Android or MS ...they try
to couple two totally orthogonal usages into one, which simply
cannot sell. A shoot into their own head.
