Hello! In testing my way around a www/chromium-related crash, I created a brand new test user. I was surprised to see that this fresh user, logging in from gdm, never makes it to gnome desktop.
The welome dialogs display to let me choose language, keyboard input, etc, but gnome-shell never loads. After you're finished with the welcome dialogs, the help window appears, and nothing else. If you close help, the window stays black and gnome-shell never comes. ctrl-alt-backspace required. Tested removing everything for test user and trying again over the last several snapshots. Always same result. My existing user which has used gnome since I got this laptop remains able to start gnome without issue. pkg_check and mtree on base has been tried, as well as pkg_delete -a of any leftover old library versions to make sure there wasn't some weird issue there. Core was generated by `gnome-shell'. Program terminated with signal SIGTRAP, Trace/breakpoint trap. #0 g_log_structured_array (log_level=<optimized out>, fields=0x7f7ffffd4f00, n_fields=<optimized out>) at ../glib-2.58.3/glib/gmessages.c:1930 1930 ../glib-2.58.3/glib/gmessages.c: No such file or directory.
