How to get MGSE under Gnome 3.4? (Or how to go from Gnome 3.4 to Gnome 3.2?)

Question

I just upgraded from Oneiric to Ubuntu 12.04.
I also installed Gnome shell 3.4, the only problem with it is that I can't use my favourite shell extensions (MGSE). Does anyone know a way I could still get Gnome 3.2 or how to get MGSE on Gnome 3.4?

Your Help would be appreciated

Just so you know.. the Mint extensions are for Gnome 3.2, and they don't work in Gnome 3.4. — Uri Herrera, May 06 '12 at 16:37

The MGSE (Mint Gnome Shell Extensions) are a part of Liunx Mint, and the Cinnamon desktop to be the default in Mint 13. Development of MGSE perhaps has stopped, bat Cinnamon provide s the same interface. Cinnamon is a fork of Gnome Shell, and is optional desktop for Ubuntu (and any distro for that matter). If you like install it in Ubuntu.

How do I install the Cinnamon Desktop?

mgse-menu has been adapted into a gnome shell extension for Gnome 3.4, named Axe Menu. Also, it adds lots of configuration options in the right click menu.
