Hamish Downer 2010-11-16T06:41:20+08:002010-11-16T06:41:20+08:00 The gnome-shell man page doesn't show --version as an option. Assuming you have installed it from the ubuntu repositories then you can look up the version in the repository. To just show the version: apt-cache show gnome-shell | grep Version On Ubuntu Maverick (10.10) I get Version: 2.31.5-2ubuntu2 Note that this works whether or not the package is installed. You can also look up all packaged versions of gnome-shell on all ubuntu versions on http://packages.ubuntu.com/
