Gnome borked?

[Paul Johnson]

Hi,

After doing a rather large update to my rawhide box, it seems that it
no longer wants to play fair with Gnome giving a very unfriendly
"Something has gone wrong which I can't recover from. You should
logout and try again" message. Other than some desklet errors, nothing
seems to be wrong (obviously it is though).

Any ideas what the problem is or how to fix it?
