Bug#730224: Gnome fails to start (Oh no! Something has gone wrong.)

Package: gnome
Version: 1:3.8+5
Followup-For: Bug #730224

Dear Maintainer,

This sounds like it may be related to a problem that started for me after
some gnome updates 2 days ago.
If I boot using GDM3 as my display manager, my machine hangs at a blank
screen.  If I use LXDE, I can
log in using XFCE but if I change the session type to Gnome I get the "Oh
no! Something has gone wrong."
screen.  This is on a fresh install of Jessie.  I am using the fglrx
drivers because the open source radeon
drivers are currently broken for me.  I also installed the
glx-alternative-fglrx, package.
My machine is an iMac 12,1. Wheezy works well on this machine and so did
Jessie until this week.
I found a ~/.xsession-errors.old file that I think may have some relevant
information:

--~/.xsession-errors.old:
