My setup/configuration changes and wishlist for Gnome 3 in Debian (Jessie comes with Gnome 3.14):

Install

gnome-shell-extensions (although Gnome recommends to only install extensions from https://extensions.gnome.org, but no packaged extensions.)
gnome-system-tools (many things, e.g. GUI for user and groups management. IMO this package should be suggested or recommended by some other gnome package more prominently (currently only gnome-nettool suggests it and lxde (!) recommends

Make your changes in /etc/default/grub:
- Add kernel options to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT. In my current case:
  Code:
```
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet video.use_native_backlight=0"
```
- Always boot the last selected kernel (instead of the first one):
  Code:
```
GRUB_DEFAULT=saved
GRUB_SAVEDEFAULT=true
```
- Disable grub showing up at all per default (hold "shift" to show it anyway):
  Code:
```
GRUB_TIMEOUT=0
```
Apply your changes
Code:
```
sudo update-grub
```
