Hi,

After playing with gnome3 for about an hour, I got it to where it dies
immediately upon startup with a windoz-like screen that says in effect
"something is wrong - log out".

Please don't confuse gnome3 with gnome-shell ;-)

And kern.log has this:
Oct 19 12:45:55 HDBB kernel: [ 9535.415881] gnome-settings-[18884]:
segfault at 7f02290df4f0 ip 00007f02290df4f0 sp 00007ff$ Oct 19
12:46:21 HDBB kernel: [ 9561.971839] gnome-settings-[22307]: segfault
at 7f523b7484f0 ip 00007f523b7484f0 sp 00007ff$

(...)

  Common problem. I and others have had it. I have just about given up
on Gnome3...can't wait for it to be sorted out. But I am sure if you
hang in for a while it will be fine.



The segfault disappeared, but the oops screen to log out has not. So for
a while gnome in Sid is unusable.

How about the fallback mode? Does it work for you? :-?


Yes, that works, but the sole reason I went to gnome a week ago is compiz, and that does not work with fallback.
