Comment 1 Giovanni Campagna 2014-03-04 13:49:34 UTC
The trace (which is partially incomplete) appears to be from the gdbus worker thread, during DBus authentication, and appears to be a crash in libffi.

Multiple causes are possible, ranging from a corrupted or buggy dbus-daemon to an invalid libffi version.

In any case, this does not look like a gnome-shell bug.

Closing.
