Bug#590341: gnome-shell: WARNING **: ... undefined symbol: mutter_plugin_effect_completed

[Jonathan Nieder]

Package: gnome-shell
Version: 2.29.0-3

Hi Emilio, Gustavo, et al,

Using startx to run gnome-shell from .xsession produces a white screen.  I quit
X with ctrl-alt-backspace to find the following .xsession-errors:

| (mutter:20260): mutter-WARNING **: Could not load library [/usr/lib/mutter/plugins/libgnome-shell.so (/usr/lib/mutter/plugins/libgnome-shell.so: undefined symbol: mutter_plugin_effect_completed)]
| Window manager warning: 0 stored in GConf key /apps/metacity/general/num_workspaces is out of range 1 to 36
| Window manager warning: Failed to load theme "(null)": Failed to find a valid file for theme (null)
| 
| Window manager warning: Failed to load theme "Simple": Failed to find a valid file for theme Simple
| 
| Window manager warning: Failed to load theme "Default": Failed to find a valid file for theme Default
| 
| Window manager warning: Failed to load theme "Redmond": Failed to find a valid file for theme Redmond
| 
| Window manager warning: Fatal IO error 11 (Resource temporarily unavailable) on display ':0'.

This report is about the first line; I prefer to debug the white screen
separately, since it is probably my fault for starting gnome-shell the
wrong way.  GPU is an NV34.  Ideas?

Jonathan

$ cat ~/.xsession
