Bug#696790: gnome-shell fails to start with JS error

Package: gnome-shell
Version: 3.6.2-0ubuntu0.2
Followup-For: Bug #696790

I get the same problem, which looks very like bug #690554 (to the
extent that I get an identical backtrace in my
~/.cache/gdm/session.log) but occurs even with evolution-data-server
installed.

For me, it only occurs when I log out and then back in, when it
usually happens. If I reboot by switching to a VT and using shutdown,
I can log in as normal, but all my desktop extensions are disabled and
I have to re-enable them.

I have two very similar machines (both Sandy Bridge-based) with the
same (as far as I know) user settings & files, and this bug only
occurs on one of them.

Looking at /var/crash shows that sometimes it's
gnome-shell-calendar-server that is caught crashing, sometimes
gnome-shell.
