Gnome 3 requires a hw support from the video card. Before the upgrade,
have you successfully used some compositing window manager through x2go
(compiz, metacity with compositing enabled)? I doubt so...

Up until now, I have not heard any news that Gnome 3 would provide a
fallback, which would be visually similar to the "normal" Gnome 3.
(Canonical has such a plan for its Unity - to be released in autumn
2011.)

This is by the way the reason, why I am in a search for a GNOME
replacement...

Milan
