Yes, Ubuntu Oneiric ships GNOME 3; Natty shipped GNOME 2.32. GNOME
Panel 3 is available for install in the repositories but panel applets
must be ported to gnome-panel 3 or else they simply won't run at all.
python-gnomeapplet is no longer being developed as Python developers
need to use GObject Introspection instead of PyGTK to work with GTK3.
