Bug#645465: gnome-shell: [upgrade to gnome3] *deletes* old panel data

[Norbert Preining]

Package: gnome-shell
Version: 3.0.2-5
Severity: serious

Hi all,

many things have changed with gnome3, but that it wipes my panels configurations
and removes entries that were carefully hand-crafted starters is a serious
violation of the policy NOT to delete any user data.

If they cannot be carried over, they should be disabled, copied somewhere
else, whatever, but NOT WIPED!

Thanks to the gnome devs for this great piece of ....

Norbert
