There is. I have it on Power G5.

I think the fact that GNOME kills gnome-applets make GNOME2
compatibility mode a bad joke (if not hypocrisy). A good number of
people would like to use that mode (I run voting some while ago at
linux.org.ru - can provide url if someone interested) - and GNOME is
going to provide them with just crooks, not a real solution. I am sure
one of the most important reasons people choose GNOME2 compatibility
mode is the applets (I guess noone thinks that gnome-panel itself is
so attractive that people cannot live without it). To be honest, not
"them", "us" - because personally I am going to stay in that mode as
long as possible, so I really would like to have it working.

IIRC for a moment, gnome-shell does not provide extension
architecture, similar to applets - so if a person wants something
custom (not notification, not status) - where would he go?

About gnome-shell compatibility. I tried to run gnome-shell inside
vmware workstation. No way. There is no 3d there.
