Hello, as reported by Josselin Mouette in #561206, gnome-shell needs DRI2 to work right. Which means kms with the radeon driver (don't know for the others). I fiddled a bit with the instructions given in http://bgoglin.livejournal.com/19346.html to get kms and DRI2, and now the overview is perfect (although I have other problems, but which are not gnome-shell specific).
I think this needs documenting, and if possible a clear warning (at least on the console, and if possible in the notification area) when one launches gnome-shell and DRI2 is not activated.
