Is Gnome getting more UNstable?



I upgraded to the latest frozen Gnome packages, and Gnome is crashing more
than ever before. I wanted to give it a shot, but wound up just sticking
with trusty fvwm2.

For instance, I may run the configuration tool launcher, nothing will happen
and I cannot log out using the foot menu. The window manager works fine
(sawmill or enlightenment), but Gnome is dead. This happen a lot: cannot log
out of Gnome.

This leads me to control+alt+backspace to get back to the xdm login screen,
after which no one (root or me) can log back and use Gnome; I have to change
exec gnome-session to exec fvwm2 and I can log back in.

What gives? I've had to re-boot to be able to try Gnome again. Is there some
wild process running?
