Thanks, folks, for getting this into action. Meanwhile, here's a problem related to Eugene's backport:

Eugene provides a backport of gnome-session 3.12, but this package has a bug: the "gnome-session-quit" command is broken. This prevents that users from logging out of the session. The problem is described here:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1344528#p1344528 (see comment 4: the logout dialog was removed with gnome-session 3.12).
So Eugenes fix currently introduces another bug. Looks we need to choose: Have acceleration but no logout, or the other way round :-(
