What I mention was a nice to have feature but not something that worked 
before ( and long awaiting one for some of us ).

The list that William has in bug 609258 in upstream bugzilla is clear 
enough.

I personally would prefer the Top Menu Bar to expand <----> onto all 
screens instead of having it just on one as William mentioned in the 
rough outlined plan but not doing it is just keeping the same behaviour 
as it is in Gnome2.

I get the sense of something is missing not having top menu bar on all 
monitors but hey that's just me.

On a different note I tested hooking Gnome3 up to my 1920x1080 TV ( I'm 
not sure if we cover that on our test days ) and did not notice any bug.

Switching back and fourth between the laptop and tv was a smooth 
experience.

Thanks for the links and heads up.

Cheers
