Please see the attachment file

Yes, 0.8.2-6

Also if it means anything, exact workaround procedure would be to remove: 

1. gnome-session (2.26.1-5)
2. gnome-session-bin (2.26.1-5)
3. gnome-desktop-environment

Then, downgrade gnome-settings-deamon to 2.24.1-3, install gnome-session 2.22.3-3
and gnome-desktop-environment. After these steps you'll get your gnome working 
once again.
