Yes I experienced regular lockups/freezes using Gnome3. This was due to the nouveau driver. Though having some 3D capabilities it obviously did not have what it takes to sustain the Gnome3 shell. (And anyway performance was very shaky). This was with an Nvidia Geforce 7300 LE. In Gnome3 fallback mode the problems have disapeared. Guess I will have to try the proprietary Nvidia drivers, sigh.
