>From the Debian mailing list... Multiple people seem to have this issue, including me. The problem is solved in gnome-shell from unstable, you can either wait until it migrates to testing (in 1 or 2 days I guess, judging from the QA page [1]) or you can install from unstable with "aptitude install -t unstable gnome-shell" (no quotes). Make sure you have unstable in your sources.list file. Just be careful not to upgrade your whole system to unstable, but only that package.
