Got a chance to test the patch with g-s 3.2.1 on Fedora 16 with rebuilt freetype (the official Fedora's freetype package has subpixel redering disabled). Hope this is applicable to Ubuntu too: the big problem with a patched GNOME shell is that the fonts seem being rendered using lcdlegacy filter, with horrible color fringes. All other GNOME applications, Firefox etc. have beautiful Ubuntu-like font rendering (hintslight+subpixel+lcddefault).
