Bug#673211: gnome-shell segfaulting

Daniel,

Well the way I solved my problem is I removed "accountservice" and
"libaccountservice0" package, along with their removal what was also
removed is (its dependencies): gdm, gnome-shell, gnome-session,
gnome-control-center.

Which after installing accountservice and libaccountservice0 from
testing I just re-installed from unstable (my default distro).

Scenario:

apt-get remove accountservice libaccountservice0

apt-get -t testing install accountservice libaccountservice0

apt-get install gdm gnome-shell gnome-session gnome-control-center

apt history log:
