A related issue (perhaps)  I will file against X11.
The X11 keyboards (I use US keyboard and CA (Canada French). The lower case space character (space bar) is a deadkey.  Can only enter space characters while holding the shift key.

Problem has been present since alpha release + 1 day (april 7). Now 12 days later.

Would like to continue to test F26 Wayland.

I just installed 26 on my Thinkpad T440, and see this consistently. Initial setup screen opens, I confirm first two (I believe) screens, and then it crashes. It has never not crashed.
Comment 3 bdarcus.lists 2017-05-19 16:31:40 UTC 
Sorry; "it" as in the session/shell, per original report.
Comment 4 Leslie Satenstein 2017-05-21 18:45:30 UTC 
This is happening with the nightly build of Fedora26.  My nightly build is dated 

MAY 15, 2017 as

Isn't this a duplicate of #1443206?
Comment 6 Leslie Satenstein 2017-05-23 15:01:41 UTC 
It is a superset of 1443206.  With Adam's bug report, he mentioned that the problem occurred once.

With this report, the crash is in a loop.

Log in
Welcome screeen
crash
Login prompt


The crash can be avoided if the Welcome screen is not responded to.

I then can open firefox and continue as one would expect.

Please check the Welcome screen exit status

Until initial setup is not completed, it will be presented again on next login.
Try to login using "GNOME on Xorg" (click on the wheel on the login screen). Complete the initial setup. Logout. Login using GNOME.
