Hello,

Adding a bunch of CCs for usual suspects as it seems noone got a copy
of the go-ahead.

Laney pointed out that to do gnome-desktop3 standalone we'd
need this patch:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/commit/f9a7718dda9641bf3750faba789edd701dfff5da

<ah> elbrus: hi. Would it be ok to entagle some of the gnome transitions? eg.
atleast mutter/gnome-shell and gnome-desktop3 together. Otherwise we'll
need sourceful uploads to make old gnome-shell work with new
gnome-desktop3 (and who knows what else)....
<pochu> ah: yes that should be fine


I'm thus thinking about doing this (unless someone else volunteers):
* upload glib2.0 to unstable (to unblock mutter)
* upload gnome-desktop3, mutter and gnome-shell
* Ask bungie-desktop people to upload their exp version to unstable.

If anyone thinks there's a reason to do anything differently, please
speak up ASAP!
