Good news and bad news. First, the bad news.. as GNOME maintainer, I don't have any 3.x boxes lying around any more (I may fire one up under vmware, but it's low priority). So, you're pretty much on your own I'm afraid. The good news.. as far as I can tell, GNOME works pretty much flawlessly under 4.x (which is what I use to get things running). I certainly haven't seen any errors like those that you've mentioned above. Unless this is a production-critical machine (in which case, why are you runnning GNOME on it? :), I would strongly recommend that you back up your data, do a binary install of 4.1-RELEASE, and then track 4-STABLE. At least you'll then be in sync with the GNOME maintainer, and you'll get a whole bucketload of extra goodies at the same time.
