Thank you Seemoi, that did the trick.

It seems a bit slower to boot and shut down, but everything seems to work for now. No "irregularities"... yet.

I've gotten so used to GNOME Shell I had pondered switching to XFCE for a while (and too used to apt to switch to another distro)... but knew it wouldn't work. At least now I have a working GNOME 3 again.

Which one?

All it does is removing sysv from your system and adding:

/sbin/halt
/sbin/init
/sbin/poweroff
/sbin/reboot
/sbin/runlevel
/sbin/shutdown
/sbin/telinit
/usr/share/doc/systemd-sysv/changelog.Debian.gz
/usr/share/doc/systemd-sysv/copyright
/usr/share/man/man1/init.1.gz
/usr/share/man/man8/halt.8.gz
/usr/share/man/man8/poweroff.8.gz
/usr/share/man/man8/reboot.8.gz
/usr/share/man/man8/runlevel.8.gz
/usr/share/man/man8/shutdown.8.gz
/usr/share/man/man8/telinit.8.gz

Goumba... you are welcome.

I've tried the installation of systemd-sysv.
My system became borked.

I have a lot of customizations, scripts, encrypted partitions, etc.

In my experience with Debian Testing in it's current condition,
switching to systemd-sysv is premature, and more of an 'alpha' experience.

Sometimes I use this zenity script. You might enjoy the convenience. Check
it carefully first before using, in case you need to customize it for your system.

Code:
#!/bin/bash
# 2014-06-07 - Debian Gnome-Shell Logout is stuck, use this instead to Reboot, Power Down, Etc.

ask=`zenity --list --height=320 --title="Logout Options" --text="Your options" --column="0" "Logout" "Suspend" "Reboot" "Shutdown" --hide-header`

if [ "$ask" == "Logout" ]; then
	gnome-session-quit &
fi

if [ "$ask" == "Suspend" ]; then
	dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest="org.freedesktop.UPower" /org/freedesktop/UPower org.freedesktop.UPower.Suspend
fi

if [ "$ask" == "Reboot" ]; then
	dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest="org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit" /org/freedesktop/ConsoleKit/Manager org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit.Manager.Restart
fi

if [ "$ask" == "Shutdown" ]; then
	dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest="org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit" /org/freedesktop/ConsoleKit/Manager org.freedesktop.ConsoleKit.Manager.Stop
fi
exit 0
