I'm trying to get Gnome 3 to work on 11.04 under virtualbox (3D acceleration enabled) but I get the message that "it can't load session gnome" when I try to log in. The same message appears when I try to do this on an EC2 instance. Please let me know if someone got it to work on EC2. Thanks!

I have managed to get the Fedora 15 Gnome Shell working in Virtualbox. I haven't tried it with Ubuntu 11.04 but I hear it's possible. I followed these instructions:
