Because it did not look quite right-  in Software Center is was tagged as
what I call a background program.  It is marked with that icon of a little
basket of goodies.  I installed it figuring that would do it once you
mentioned I would not need the repository.  however that did not work.  i
had to install it using what I was asking about --   sudo apt-get update &&
sudo apt-get install gnome-shell ubuntu-gnome-desktop after you install the
repository.  sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3

Anyway I installed it from terminal and it seems to be working just fine.
It will take some tweaking to make it do what I want.

thanks!!
