Package: gnome-shell
Version: 3.6.2-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

I cannot successfully launch gnome-shell.  When I log in, the shell dies.  If
I run it under gdb, I get the following:

[Thread debugging using libthread_db enabled]

I tried creating a fresh account and get the same error when logging in.
