It would be really useful to see a stacktrace for the shell crash.
It'd also be useful to have a copy of the offending .config file(s), I guess?
did you do fedup ? or yum update ? was it the f21 gnome-shell that crashed or the f22 shell that crashed ? can you attach the output of journalctl -b -a ?

The offending file was .config/dconf/userxxx. I will attach them shortly (In reply to Ray Strode [halfline] from comment #3) > did you do fedup ? or yum update ? was it the f21 gnome-shell that crashed > or the f22 shell that crashed ? Both methods. It was f22 shell that crashed on X session. Gnome on Wayland was fine.

Haven't been able to reproduce yet - so far tried a clean f21 install, update, and then upgrade, and also copying ~/.config/dconf from my production laptop (which is f21) to a VM and upgrading it. May try some more tomorrow, but I'm on vacation officially, so might need someone else to do it.
