Still singing the fallback mode blues

[Jonathan Corbet]

So the roadblock that kept {cl,m}utter off my Rawhide box cleared and I
figured I could now happily to back to swearing at gnome-shell.  Alas, no
such luck.  "Something went wrong" still; for an added bonus, the login
screen is now only willing to give me a choice of sessions the first time
around.  If I pick the wrong one, I have to reboot for my sins...

Here's my .xsession-errors....there does seem to be any confusion around.
Anybody got any ideas?

Thanks,

jon

^^^ this is the critical thing which results in the fail whale:
gnome-shell is crashing (or quitting), restarting, crashing (or
quitting), restarting etc. After a couple of loops, you get the fail
whale.

So, what's left to determine is whether all that goomph above is just
telepathy pooping its pants, or whether that's actually what's causing
Shell to crash (or quit).

Do you have any abrt crash reports for gnome-shell?

Nothing in abrt, no.  It doesn't seem to be an actual SEGV-style crash
that would bring abrt into the picture.  If I start in the fallback mode,
then do "gnome-shell --replace" by hand, I get something similar:

JS ERROR: !!!   Exception was: TypeError: this._accountManager.get_factory is not a function
    JS ERROR: !!!     lineNumber = '124'

FWIW, that telepathyClient.js file actually belongs to gnome-shell; I'm
not sure that telepathy itself has much to do with it.

The session problem is due to gdm misinterpreting your console logins
for full X sessions. As long as you are not logged in on any vts, you'll
get the session chooser. Fixed upstream. We should make sure we get that
fix into an update. Ah no, you are on rawhide, so an F16 update won't
help you...

Looks like a problem between gnome-shell and telepathy.
What version of telepathy-glib do you have there ?

Should be fixed by now.

Luckily, yes. I have to wonder though, what is the next "critpath"
component going to be -- CUPS because the printer applet needs to put
code in gnome-shell?

I'm really wondering what design decision validates having a bug in
a chat application preventing the user from logging on to the desktop...

I get said message the first time aropund I try to log into a LiveCD, but
then it works.
