Bug#629580: gnome-shell crashes with segfault

Package: gnome-shell
Version: 3.0.2-1
Severity: important


gnome-shell does no longer start. It just crashes after a few seconds.
In the kernel.log the following statement can be seen:
gnome-shell[3881]: segfault at 0 ip 00007f03c039ddc8 sp 00007fffbac38490 error 4 in libc-2.13.so[7f03c031f000+17a000]
gnome-shell[4050]: segfault at 0 ip 00007f412f860dc8 sp 00007fff22462d30 error 4 in libc-2.13.so[7f412f7e2000+17a000]
gnome-settings-[3829]: segfault at 7f500050d4f0 ip 00007f500050d4f0 sp 00007fff3ec25338 error 14 in libdbus-1.so.3.5.6[7f5000750000+43000]

I'm not sure if this is related to gnome-shell or libc6. It's possible to launch
gnome-session-fallback and all normaly used applications.
