Crash happens several seconds after startup but before gnome-shell accepts user
input.  It is reproducible without exceptions.

In bisect testing, I would reproduce the bug by logging in using Gnome Classic
and then starting gnome-shell --replace (with LD_LIBRARY_PATH pointing to the
library being tested and with DISPLAY set appropriately) in a virtual console.
Either I could log off using gnome-shell (in which case the tested library
version was good) or gnome-shell never appears and the virtual console reveals
a segfault (in which case the library version was bad).

I suspect it may be relevant that I don't have network-manager installed.  I
may try to test this supposition later today.
