Hi, I tried a couple more things ...
I found the missing symbol was added to mutter recently when wayland branch was merged, so I installed latest packages; mutter-common, libmutter0d, gsettings-desktop-schemas, gir1.2-mutter-3.0. By the way when I say latest I mean experimental ... The error has changed, see attached user.log, but result is the same, that is a blank screen with cursor blinking. I also tried building the Debian gnome-shell=3.13.1 source package and installing, but result was the same. hope this helps ... -- Regards Marc
