GNOME 3.0.0 packages are now available in the [testing] repository. These bring with it an update to gtk2, as well as the new gtk3.
This is a major update and you should take note of a couple of things:
* GNOME3 will replace GNOME2 once it gets moved to [extra].
* GNOME3 has two modes, "standard" mode (gnome-shell) and "fallback" mode (gnome-panel + metacity).
* Panel applets using Bonobo aren't supported anymore and packages depending on it will be dropped.
* pulseaudio is now required to run the GNOME desktop.
* Some packages exist in separate versions for gtk2 and gtk3. These typically have a name like "packagename3". Examples are vte3, libwebkit3, gtkhtml4.
* pygobject is now available for Python 3 in the package "py3gobject".
Have fun testing these packages!

Is pulseaudio mandatory no matter what? Can it be removed if some of the packages are built custom? I like having volume control for HDMI out. And I like that this mysterious starving audio, playing silence, glitch has disappeared. But I don't like that pulse uses so much CPU and i think it's a major reason why my computer is runn 5-8 degrees C hotter with gnome3
