longer log extract (grep -30)

I've noticed this error in my system logs in boots today in Fedora 20, with gnome-shell-3.10.0.1-1.fc20.x86_64 :

Oct 02 12:09:15 vaioz.happyassassin.net gnome-session[1388]: (gnome-shell:2261):
 Gjs-WARNING **: JS ERROR: Exception in callback for signal: login-format-change
d: TypeError: AuthPrompt.MessageType is undefined

This seems to be fallout from changes halfline's been making recently to authPrompt.js - he introduced this AuthPrompt.MessageType stuff and then moved things around a bit in recent commits to that file and loginDialog.js, so I think maybe one of those changes is bad. A longer extract from my logs will be attached.

I'm not sure if this bug has any serious consequences (I think it prevents the realm login hint from being shown) - logind is not working for me today, but that happens with lightdm/xfce too, so I don't think it has anything to do with this bug.

er, that's js/gdm/authPrompt.js and js/gdm/loginDialog.js .
