System info says I am using Gnome 3.0.2?

[rg3000]

I guess I am missing something, I updated to pack 3, my system info says that I am using Gnome 3.0.2, my desktop does not look like Gnome 3 (like fedora 15)

My desktop looks like the traditional mint desktop. Am I using what people are calling the fallback mode?

Can I make the LMDE use the "new" gnome 3 desktop?

Thanks

You can install gnome-shell from the repository to get the new interface (the so-called Gnome Shell).

You must be using the fallback mode if there's Gnome 3.0.2 without shell running.

The "gnome-shell" package is only available in the Debian experimental repository.

As you are running LMDE with more/less testing sources, you are not technically running a full GNOME3 system.

You are still running GNOME2.32 with various elements updated to v. 3.0.2. GNOME is in a transitory state right now in Debian, where many packages are starting to trickle down - but it will still be a little while before a full GNOME3 system is available in testing.

You can if you enable the Debian experimental repo's - but I wouldn't recommend it unless you know what your doing.
