It would be helpful if you folks, who reported that GNOME Shell
animations were sluggish, could run the following command in
a terminal inside the GNOME desktop on Tails 2.0~beta1 (as the regular
'amnesia' user, *not* as root):

gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface enable-animations false

... and report back if it improves your feelings wrt. the desktop
behaviour in any way. Thanks in advance!

Done, feels just right for me. I've posted more details, and test
results on older hardware: https://labs.riseup.net/code/issues/10808#note-2

Apparently it's not possible.
