Created attachment 270979 [details] faulty gnome-shell.desktop I have a few applications open on the gnome-shell when I exit X. Gnome saves those settings in ~/.config/gnome-session/saved-session/gnome-shell.desktop. When I logout and restart X, gnome-shell doesn't get started but the other applications that I left running in the previous session do get started correctly. I just delete the gnome-shell.desktop and all is well. I've attached the bad gnome-shell.desktop so you can see what is going wrong with it.
Please post your `emerge --info' output too.
This problem appears to have disappeared with 3.0.2. I'll check again when I have access to the amd64 box next time.
