I had my system running for quite some time, but did update the packages. Now
today I restated the system and I ran into a white-screen when GDM is supposed
to come up, saying "Oh no!" ...". With lightdm I can start the session but get
the whitescreen as soon as the session starts. I grepped for all possible
relevent strings in /var/log/syslog:

I see several segfaults here. GNOME is completely useless for me at the moment.
So any help or fix is greatly appreciated. I tried downgrading gjs/gnome-shell,
but it didn't change anything. I tried running with different kernls, no luck
either. If I can provide you with a backtrace, please let me know how.

Regards, Daniel
