Created attachment 183105 [details] system log from boot until X reboot Using Fedora 15 x86_64 Live image for Gnome3 Beta test day (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Day:2011-03-10_GNOME3_Beta) Exact version: gdm-2.91.6-8.fc15.x86_64 On boot, gdm partially starts and just shows the wallpaper. The mouse does work but no login prompt is shown. Upon inspection of the system log, I found a crash backtrace after the line: gdm-simple-greeter[1290]: GLib-GObject-CRITICAL: g_object_ref: assertion `G_IS_OBJECT (object)' failed#012aborting... After rebooting the X server with <ctl><alt><backspace>, gdm came up without problems. System log from boot until after X reboot is attached
This bug has also been filed downstream in the redhat bugzilla: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=684053
Created attachment 183112 [details] system log from boot until X reboot - second occurance Hit the same bug again, attaching system log from second occurance

The problem here is the icon size of 51. The icon is available, but only in size 48. Ray, did you not fix this already ?
I did fix this. I think Adam used an old GDM in the test day.
