Two things changed today to help fix the problems:  more gnome
package updates were committed overnight, and I changed my
make.profile from plain "desktop" to "desktop/gentoo".

I spent all day today fixing and working around problems, though.
Mostly conflicting package slots, conflicting useflags, and two
gnome packages that won't compile.  I'm pooped, but gnome-shell
is actually working now!

Tomorrow: I start installing gnome-shell extensions :/

BTW, gnome-base/gnome-fallback doesn't work for me any longer, but
there are recent gnome-shell extensions that do similar things.

BTW #2, I had to start with a clean home directory with no gnome
stuff left over from before the update, otherwise the loveable and
very cuddly "Oh No!  Something has gone very wrong and you're now
screwed" icon pops up.  I'll try to narrow down the guilty config
files tomorrow
