Something is wrong because nobody responded to a barrage of emails
within three hours? I'm a developer. I don't get paid to do this.

There are no applets in GNOME Shell. The "everything is an applet,
let's cram everything up there" model of GNOME Panel was a mess,
and a pain for anybody doing documentation and support.

I'm sure somebody could write a netspeed shell extension.

I don't know why Pidgin isn't working for you anymore. I'm not aware
of any architectural changes in GNOME that would cause other apps to
lose connectivity. Have you asked the Pidgin devs?

Do you mean the alert sound?

1. Click your name on the top bar and select System Settings.
2. Open Sound.
3. On the Sound Effects tab, select Mute.

That's in the help, by the way.

That sounds like a bug in your distribution's upgrade process.

The date and time display are controlled with the region and
language formats.

1. Click your name on the top bar and select System Settings.
2. Open Region and Language.
3. Select the Formats tab.

At this time, you can only select a region that matches the settings
you like most. I wouldn't mind more fine-grained control myself. (I'm
in the US, but I don't think weeks should start on Sunday.) I'm sure
you can manage to set some of this manually by setting various LC_*
environment variables. That's how *nix users did things since before
GNOME ever existed. And GNOME 2 didn't have a panel to control any
of this.

gsettings set  org.gnome.shell.clock show-date true

I also like showing the seconds:

gsettings set  org.gnome.shell.clock show-seconds true

Or just download GNOME Tweak Tool. It has both of these and more.

Cheers,
Shaun
