This bug is about the gnome-shell version 2.31.5-2ubuntu2.
That one is just a tool chain copy from Maverick. It is a rather old version based on GTK+2 and should be deleted.
The new version (2.91.3) should be build as soon as possible, because right now Natty does not have a working gnome-shell.
G-S is after all the default shell in Gnome (vanilla).

The newest gjs (0.7.7-0ubuntu1) in Natty repos does indeed depend on libgjs0b and thus xulrunner-2.0-mozjs. It cannot of course be installed on Natty with old gnome-shell and old xulrunner-1.9.2.

The window manager and library (mutter and clutter) are, however, recent versions and so are GIR-packages too.
We also have GTK+3 and libgnome3-desktop in repos.

So what is still missing, is the new gnome-shell_2.91.3 and its theme package (gnome-themes-standard_2.91.3).

Some weeks ago, there was a working PPA (ricotz) Testing, but there the gnome-shell package depends on libgjs0a and xulrunner-1.9.2 and thus cannot be used anymore.

Gnome-shells overview screen has changed quite a bit recently and it would be nice to have that one in repos.
