Bug#591337: gnome-shell: Settings not able to be read after upgrade to 2.31.5-2

[Jonathon Jongsma]

Package: gnome-shell
Version: 2.31.5-2
Severity: important

After upgrading to gnome-shell from experimental (2.31.5-2), none of my
'favorite' applications were shown in the sidebar anympore and I got the
following warning on the terminal:

Window manager warning: Log level 16: specified class size for type `DConfSettingsBackend' is smaller than the parent type's `GSettingsBackend' class size
Window manager warning: Log level 8: g_once_init_leave: assertion `initialization_value != 0' failed

(mutter:6640): GLib-GIO-WARNING **: Tried to register an extension of the type (null) to extension point gsettings-backend. Expected type is GObject.
GLib-GIO-Message: Using the 'memory' GSettings backend.  Your settings will not be saved or shared with other applications.
