ubuntu gnome3 gtk3+ problems and frustrations and ways to go about it

1. Make sure you uninstall compiz fusion or it creates a mess
2. If installing from gtk3+ source ignore step 3
3. Sometimes you might face problem with display card frlgx issues
4. You might have to boot in console and manually start x
5. Alt tab stops working which is very irritating.
6. File manager stops working you might need to open every thing thru application.
7. And you might need to reinstall gnome shell.
8. Make sure Gnome 3 is properly installed if not sure don not do metacity --replace  or compiz --replace
9. *** Error during phase configure of evolution-data-server: ########## Error running ./autogen.sh --prefix ignored evolution as it was working perfect in 10.10 and keep my fingers crossed no crashes this iss what i experienced while doing reinstall

and after being completely frustrated
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade
