Package: xserver-xorg
Version: 1:7.7+12
Priority: Important
Since installing updates last night in some VMs, I can no longer load
gnome in those VMs.
They load to a terminal login (normally would auto-load gnome), which
is flashing on and off the screen rapidly, with text input to login
being very difficult/impossible. This flashing stops after about a
minute, leaving you at a stable/usable login prompt. After login,
startx fails to load gnome. The xorg log (below) lists a segfault.
Edit: Actually, while retrieving copies of the log files, I ran startx
as root, which worked fine, it just doesn't load as the normal user.
VMs are sid installs, fully up to date, with a handful of core gnome
packages from experimental (gdm3, gnome-shell, gnome-session, mutter,
gnome-setting-daemon, nautilus).
Things were working fine the previous day, prior to the latest updates.
The updates installed resulting in the breakage are as follows:

mutter and gdm3 to 3.18 stable versions along with a few other updates
made no difference.
