[CoLoCo] GNOME Shell or extensions.gnome.org plugin broken in Ubuntu?

[Anthony Zotti]

Simon, after reading, "I should also note that I have been really happy
with the Gnome flavored 12.10 beta and Gnome 3.6. There have been a bunch
of great improvements to the shell and while they don't provide any new
functionality the login and lock screens are awesome", I wonder, is Gnome
is your daily environment or if you dabble?

Just curious as I am a Unity fan and haven't played in Gnome for a while.
Only Unity and OpenBox for the past year.
