It seems they will be *not* going with GNOME Shell but will be going with
GNOME 3 that will look similar to what they have now. This could be an
opportunity for Mint because many users will not like GNOME Shell which is
GNOME 3 without the panel and with a Java interface. It is just too
different and will confuse many newbies. Bad enough moving to Linux from
Windows and then to find a very foreign environment without a start button,
menu or panel. And for veterans there are no virtual desktops and no Compiz
which is what many people like about Linux. I am not sure if GNOME 3 without
the shell will support Compiz, but virtual desktops should be available.
This is also an opportunity for KDE and XFCE where both still work fine.
