Bug#720283: gnome-shell fails to start, clutter problems

Package: gnome-shell
Version: 3.4.2-12+b1

I have the same situation as described here. Gnome-shell starts but any
action causes it to hang. I have also found a bug filed against
gnome-core that is due to the same problem (I suppose). It is 

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=720297

Before finding this bug I posted some info and diagnoses I have done
there. If someone is trying to solve this, please take a look. In
particular I have managed to get this .xsession-errors file (that I
attached there) that seems to give some info...

Good luck!
