Where did you see that? Not that I think that this ought to be (as opposed to is) a problem, as the demos I have seen of Gnome shell (never tried it due to lack of a supported system) don't show any 3D effects that software rendering shoundn't be able to cope with. Perhaps llvmpipe will do it one day.
