Created attachment 525896 [details] oops screen I have a test machine that used to run gnome 3.0, installed the fedora 16 alpha on it and applied all the updates. However, I kept the same /home partition so the existing user directory with all its settings was reused. Now, here are some of the symptoms (there may be more but it's hard to attribute everything to this bug): - the "oops!" gnome-session screen shows up on login, you have to alt+F4 it - toolbar buttons are shown "text below icon" style although the setting in dconf is still set to the default "text besides icon" style. - wallpaper image changes are not reflected until logout+relogin - cannot change the wallpaper to a solid color Interestingly enough, everything works fine if I create a blank user account and log into it... so something must be wrong with the way existing user config files are parsed, and that sounds worthy of a bug report. Here's my translation of the relevant lines in xsession-errors for the user where the bug happens: g_dbus_connection_real_closed: Remote peer vanished with error: Error receiving message : Connection reset by peer (g-io-error-quark, 0). Exiting. ** (gnome-settings-daemon:5858): WARNING **: cannot connect to /org/freedesktop/ConsoleKit/Session13: Connection closed [...etc.] gnome-session[5756]: WARNING: App 'gnome-settings-daemon.desktop' respawning too quickly

Same problem here after doing a preupgrade to Fedora 16 :-/
This message is a reminder that Fedora 16 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 4 (four) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 16. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '16'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 16's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 16 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora, you are encouraged to click on "Clone This Bug" and open it against that version of Fedora. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 16 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2013-02-12. Fedora 16 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
