Empathy fails to launch in fallback mode, unable to initialize Clutter

Created attachment 198494 [details] 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. Original Bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=743793
I guess you can't run any clutter app right? That's either a Clutter or a X.org issue.
