The good part of gnome-session-fallback is that, it allows you to fall back
to Gnome Classical, and can also allow you try out Gnome 3 if you want.

To open anything not in the default menu (e.g. terminal/xterm) in Gnome 3,

Press 'meta' key (aka windows key), this will open the 'dash', click on
'more applications' start typing software-center in search box, when it's
icon appears in first position, hit 'enter' key.
Software-center icon is also located in the launcher (menu on the left side
of desktop).

For example, xterm is under installed apps, open the dash and start typing
xterm, the first symbol in the row will execute when pressing [enter],
gnome-terminal starts with ctrl+alt+t, run cmd with alt+f2.
