Description Josselin Mouette 2012-06-24 10:58:57 UTC 
Hi,

gnome-shell regularly crashes at login time. When it happens, it will crash in a loop until the fail whale triggers. After which I log in again, and it works.
Extensions are innocent, since there are none of them. This might be related to session saving.

.xsession-errors:
GLib-GIO:ERROR:/tmp/buildd/glib2.0-2.32.3/./gio/gdbusactiongroup.c:249:g_dbus_action_group_describe_all_done: assertion failed: (group->actions == NULL)
gnome-session[26986]: WARNING: Application 'gnome-shell.desktop' killed by signal 6
gnome-session[26986]: WARNING: App 'gnome-shell.desktop' respawning too quickly

And the backtrace:

+ Trace 230415

I have a core file handy in case you need more investigation.
Comment 1 Josselin Mouette 2012-09-22 14:54:05 UTC 
This is easy to reproduce: enable session saving, and save a session with applications on more than one workspace.
Comment 2 Josselin Mouette 2012-09-22 15:32:54 UTC 
Could this be related to bug#679509 ?
Comment 3 Josselin Mouette 2012-09-23 09:33:28 UTC 
Yep, that’s it.
