Hello,
I'm just emailing to inform you that my issues are now resolved with a new
3.4.1-8 gnome-shell that is in testing repo.

I've purged gnome-shell and corresponding packages:
apt-get purge alacarte cups-pk-helper gir1.2-accountsservice-1.0 gir1.2-c
aribou-1.0 gir1.2-clutter-1.0 gir1.2-cogl-1.0 gir1.2-coglpango-1.0
gir1.2-folks-
0.6 gir1.2-gconf-2.0 gir1.2-gdesktopenums-3.0 gir1.2-gee-1.0
gir1.2-gkbd-3.0 gir
1.2-json-1.0 gir1.2-mutter-3.0 gir1.2-networkmanager-1.0
gir1.2-panelapplet-4.0
gir1.2-polkit-1.0 gir1.2-telepathyglib-0.12 gir1.2-telepathylogger-0.2
gir1.2-up
owerglib-1.0 gir1.2-xkl-1.0 gjs gnome-applets gnome-applets-data
gnome-contacts
gnome-panel gnome-panel-data gnome-session-fallback gnome-shell
gnome-shell-comm
on gnome-themes-standard indicator-applet-complete libcaribou-common
libcaribou0
 libclutter-1.0-0 libclutter-1.0-common libcogl-common libcogl-pango0
libcogl9 l
ibmozjs185-1.0 libmutter0 libpanel-applet-4-0 mutter-common python-gmenu



and any nvidia packages:
apt-get purge nvidia-xconfig nvidia-settings nvidia-kernel-source
nvidia-kernel-common nvidia-kernel-dkms


Then I've reinstalled everything:
aptitude install gnome-shell
aptitude install nvidia-kernel-common
m-a auto-install nvidia-kernel${VERSION}-source
apt-get install nvidia-glx${VERSION}
apt-get install nvidia-xconfig
nvidia-xconfig

services gdm3 restart


Install also:
aptitude install dbus
apt-get install gnome-tweak-tool
apt-get install gnome-shell-extension*
apt-get install gnome-shell-theme*

To add the minimize max, close.

This fixed my gnome-shell issues.

**Note: I did in a process found that that my charger became defective on
my dell xps M1330, but that was after I did above and fixed my issues. This
disclaimer is for people who report crashing when switching between power
sources which I never seen to be a problem.

Thank you.
Lucas
