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).
