I'm having some problems with gnome-shell. I downloaded from the Ubuntu repository (not ricotz-testing), and typing gnome-shell --replace
I get this (I removed some repetitions :) ):
alecive@calliope:~$ gnome-shell --replace

Someone could help me in getting gnome-shell running? I'm experiencing very annoying behaviors and I really wish to get it on my desktop! :(
To clarify - I know how to log in into gnome-shell from the login screen, but gnome-shell systematically crashes the desktop. So, to see what errors it gives me, I login into unity environment and then I type gnome-shell --replace
Moreover, I already used gnome-shell since its natty version and my video-card fully support it. This seems to be a library issue rather than a simple problem related to my ignorance. I think the last two lines of the code prompted above, you can see some dependency.
PS: For the record, I'm on Ubuntu Oneiric 11.10 32bit :)
