I have accepted that gnome3 is OK so long as 'classic mode' is
available. I have installed cinnamon and given it a try but prefer the
gnome2 look. Cinnamon has had several updates on my sid box since I
installed it but I haven't looked at it to see what has been changed.
Mate hasn't been packaged for Debian although mate-common is in
experimental so don't think mate is the way to go at the moment unless
you are happy to use non-debian packages for it.
I had a go a few days ago at upgrading one of my laptops to wheezy but
it was going to need tons of packages so gave up on it for now.
I am going to wait a while before thinking of up-grading my VPS though I
should really do it before geneweb 6.07 migrates into wheezy. I have
tried it out from experimental and don't like some of the changes the
developers have made since 6.05.
