    I just upgraded this system from gnome2 to gnome3 today after testing
gnome3 in fallback mode one one machine and fresh install on another.
There are a few applets I use consistently, CPU freq-util, gweather and
a couple of others, and these don't work in gnome 3.

    The first thing I noticed is they can't be found from the search bar
or the application menu.  Second is although they may be started from the 
command line, they don't display anything, or they may be invisible 
due to the black root window of the X server (undocumented swith '-br'
sets the 'blackout' look.)  

    When running in fallback mode, it's possible to see a _very_ faint icon
showing the temperature on the top panel, but that's more a broken 
gnome 2/gnome fallback issue.

    No messages are issued in '.xsession-errors' or anywhere on the screen.
