I have an issue under Budgie with KeyPress events not being raised.

So I installed Gnome to troubleshoot:

sudo eopkg install gdm gnome-shell gnome-desktop-branding

Now I noticed some fundamental problems with Gnome. Seems like some components of gnome are missing. Nothing happens if I select anything from the right click context menu that pops up from desktop such as "Change background...", "Display Settings" or "Settings":

I also found an icon for "Login Window" from the Start Menu; Which asks for my password but then launches nothing.

Anyone know names of the binaries, so I can try to launch them from the commandline to get an error message at least?

Apparently this will not be installed if you follow the official guide:

Makes me wonder what else could be missing?

    Jumpy gnome-control-center is the required package I believe

      It looks like the instruction on help center needs some updating. It hasn't taken into account components that Budgie has forked since (mutter and gnome-control-center).

      Filed an issue for it.
