Good. It would still be interesting to know what added them, and how it
made gnome-session crash, because it looks like something ready to
happen again on other people’s systems.

If you just installed consolekit, you may need a gdm restart. Note that
if several people are logged on, it will be greyed out and that is
expected.

Yes, unfortunately you need to recompile it for the moment.

This warning is harmless. Something saved the metacity state but the
state file was removed in the meantime.

The gnome keyring environment shows up late, I assume you are not using
libpam-gnome-keyring; otherwise this is normal.

Haha, so I was wrong, the buggy Terminal line is not the one triggering
the crash earlier. This is clearly a bug in smart-notifier. “False” is
not an accepted boolean value; “false” is.
