Description of problem: 1. Fresh DVD install of Fedora 18 final RC4 x86_64 and reboot. 2. Run Boxes, point it to the DVD RC4 ISO and have it do an express install. 3. see anaconda complain of various requested (ks?) packages not available, proceed anyway. install begins and I walk away for ~30 minutes 4. Come back to a lock screen, type in my password is accepted but I'm at a gray gnome screen not my login environment. I wait another 10 minutes. Still no ability to get back to login environment. 5. alt-f2 restart, to restart gnome-shell. ABRT has logged a Boxes crash.

Regression: 1. System Settings > Brightness & Lock > Lock set to OFF 2. Repeat Boxes setup > create a box, select a file, select F18 final RC4 DVD, Express Install on, continue, no password, Create. 3. Boxes click on full screen button. 4. Again, at anaconda it complains about group 'base' and 'graphical-internt' and 'sound-and-video' do not exist, skip group? I say yes to all and continue. Installation begins and I walk away. Actual results: Boxes has successfully installed F18, and reboots OK. So it may have had to do with the Lock being enabled.
The anaconda issues should be fixed with latest boxes/libosinfo builds. The backtrace is the same as in bug #879864, this is likely to be a bug in some other package (gtk+ or clutter come to mind).
