You can regain this experience if you start gnome-panel (either in a 
terminal or automatically on start of a agnome session). This gives 
you the traditional panels with (almost) all features and applets.

In essence, the panel is not gone. It is jut hidden from the user of
the default theme.

Printing: Enabling the LPR backend

On the 24th of January I sent a message to the gnome-print-list and
received no response. Looking at the list history it appears that this
list is dead. So, I will forward it to this list in the hope of getting
some response:

Hello,
We (unfortunately) still use lprng for printing. In
/usr/lib64/gtk-3.0/3.0.0/printbackends we have libprintbackend-lpr.so.
In applications using gtk2.0 (e.g. Firefox) the Print menu has an "LPR"
option that allows the user to enter options to the lpr command in to a
text box below the list. In gtk3.0 applications this option is missing.
I have tried changing settings.ini to include gtk-print-backends =
"lpr,file,cups", but this doesn't seem to have done it. gedit, for
example, still does not have the lpr option. I suspect maybe this
setting should go in gconf now, but I can't see where.

How can I properly enable the lpr print backend for gtk 3.0?

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried it from a terminal and got this error:

$ gnome-panel
Gtk-Message: Failed to load module "pk-gtk-module"
Cannot register the panel shell: there is already one running.

I have gnome-shell running, but AFIK not another gnome-panel.

Sorry, I forgot the --replace option. The call should read:
  gnome-panel --replace

Next question would be how to execute the command on start-up of 
gnome-shell. Unlike gnome2 there is no way to configure this from 
the GUI(*). But you can execute on the command line:
  gnome-session-properties
This will give you the GUI known from gnome2.6.

Thanks, that worked!

It gets me back to where I was for now.

One other question which perhaps you can answer. In reference to the 
original problem about dragging links directly from Firefox, when the 
launcher that is the drop destination is on a gnome-panel the drop does 
launch the application with the url as the argument.

It is part of glib 2.x. So either http://git.gnome.org/browse/glib, or
in your distributions glib package (could be in something like
glib-devel, glib2.0-devel, glib2.0-common, etc).

I suggest using a distribution instead of compiling on your own.

Not really. It seems you're making things arbitrarily hard by compiling
on your own, then complain that compiling on your own is hard.

Your notion of freedom is strange. You're able to see the latest
versions before it is available in a distribution. You're free to either
wait, or go to the trouble of compiling on your own. Freedom means
you're able, not that you're spoon fed. Or in other words: Compiling on
your own is possible, but difficult.

It seems you're out to make things hard on yourself.

If your distribution doesn't provide Banshee, ask for a new version.
However, seems you're using a distribution which lags behind quite a
lot.
