Bug#589879: Doesn't start because of missing file

[Michael Meskes]

Package: gnome-shell
Version: 2.29.0-3
Severity: grave

At least that's what the output seems to suggest:

test at feivel:~$ gnome-shell --replace
Window manager warning: Failed to load theme "Clearlooks": Failed to find a valid file for theme Clearlooks

    JS ERROR: !!!   Exception was: Error: Requiring Meta, version none: Typelib file for namespace 'ClutterJson', version '1.0' not found

This is on a user that just created right before running the test. It doesn't
look to me like a hardware problem, but more like a missing dependency. I
couldn't get it to run at all, that's why I reported the bug as grave, feel
free to adjust if this is a problem not hitting everyone. And feel free to tell
me what to test.
