Xorg.log

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

empathy-3.2.0-1.fc16.x86_64

How reproducible:

Very.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start GNOME 3 in fallback mode.
2. Attempt to launch empathy (from console to view stderr/stdout).

Actual results:

failed to create drawable

(empathy:2425): Clutter-CRITICAL **: Unable to initialize Clutter: Unable to
select the newly created GLX context

(empathy:2425): Gdk-WARNING **: The program 'empathy' received an X Window
System error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadGC (invalid GC parameter)'.
  (Details: serial 160 error_code 13 request_code 60 minor_code 0)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the --sync command line
   option to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)

Expected results:

Empathy opens.

I guess you can't run any clutter app right? That's either a Clutter or a X.org issue.
