Gnome3 extensions on Debian GNU/Linux testing

People running Debian GNU/Linux testing with Gnome 3.0 and want to customize it with the G3 extensions, read on. The locations from where I collected the extensions are

1. http://intgat.tigress.co.uk/rmy/extensions/index.html

2. http://linuxmaniac.torreviejawireless.org/debian/gnome-shell-extensions/

3. http://gnome-look.org/content/show.php/?content=146113
 
4. http://pkgs.org/fedora-15/fedora-updates-i386/gnome-shell-extension-places-menu-3.0.2-3.20110630git939994d0.fc15.noarch.rpm/download/

From all these sources just take the folder with the extension_name@something.com and paste them in /usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions and logout. But remember doing so activates the extensions immediately.

If you want to disable any extension, U should install the gnome-tweak tool available in the Debian repos. The tweak tool has other options which you would love to play with. Just remember u have to download the packages for 3.0.* There will be the same packages for 3.2.* And they may break when G3 is update to 3.2. U have been warned. G3 is shiny and beatiful. Thanx to the G3 devs.

Nobody can deter me away from "free as in freedom" concept seeded by Sri RMS. See to it that u dont make fun of my belief. If u think otherwise, no need to comment.
