<p dir="ltr">From the Debian mailing list:</p>
<p dir="ltr">Multiple people seem to have this issue, including me. The problem is<br>
solved in gnome-shell from unstable, you can either wait until it<br>
migrates to testing (in 1 or 2 days I guess, judging from the QA page<br>
[1]) or you can install from unstable with "aptitude install -t unstable<br>
gnome-shell" (no quotes). Make sure you have unstable in your<br>
sources.list file. Just be careful not to upgrade your whole system to<br>
unstable, but only that package.</p>
<p dir="ltr">It worked for me!</p>

Look at your /var/log/dpkg.log and see what packages were updated. You<br>
could then go look at open bugs on those packages at<br>
<a href="http://packages.debian.org" target="_blank">packages.debian.org</a>. The <a href="http://aptosid.com" target="_blank">aptosid.com</a> forums are also useful for<br>
researching debian testing or unstable breakage. Good luck - as a user<br>
of debian testing and unstable I've been there before.<br>
