Well, after latest updates I can see things in gnome-shell, launch apps,
see preferences, but suddenly I get kicked out, and I think this is the
problem:

gnome-settings-[2556]: segfault at 7fb8612fb1d0 ip 00007fb8612fb1d0 sp 00007fff830282d8 error 14 in libnsl-2.12.1.so[7fb8639dc000+15000]
gnome-settings-[3257]: segfault at 7fae815011d0 ip 00007fae815011d0 sp 00007fff72cc8b58 error 14 in libnsl-2.12.1.so[7fae83be2000+15000]
gnome-settings-[3723]: segfault at 7f42989871d0 ip 00007f42989871d0 sp 00007fffa8d55858 error 14 in libnsl-2.12.1.so[7f429b068000+15000]

(from dmesg)

Sometines it lasts longer, other less, but I get the error fullscreen message
all the time. And perhaps it's because the session loses connection to gnome-settings-daemon.

Any idea ?
