+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]

+
+(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 ?
