Description Stijn Hoop 2011-09-30 12:29:53 UTC 
Description of problem:

After update to rawhide 2011-09-30, gnome-shell crashed when arriving at the GDM login screen, so I had no greeter to login.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

gdm-3.1.90-1.fc16.x86_64
gnome-shell-3.2.0-1.fc17.x86_64

How reproducible:

Always

Steps to Reproduce:

Boot system
  
Actual results:

Greeter session crashes to GNOME fail whale

Expected results:

Able to select username

Additional info:

After much debugging I figured out that the schema file 

/usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/org.gnome.login-screen.gschema.xml

was missing. gnome-shell tried to access settings from that file and crashed in the process.

This file is distributed with GDM 3.2.0. After installing it by hand service was restored.
Comment 1 Stijn Hoop 2011-09-30 12:32:28 UTC 
Note that the GDM 3.2.0 build for rawhide failed in koji. I am not sure whether the schema was distributed with 3.1.90, so it might just be because of a mismatch in version numbers between GDM and gnome-shell.
Comment 2 Stijn Hoop 2011-10-04 08:22:47 UTC 
Fixed in 3.1.92-1.fc16 which I just got... (not sure why, build date says 2011-09-16.
