> I was going to abandon the attempt to get gnome-3.16.x working on a non-systemd machine, but then saw this (https://wiki.gnome.org/Projects/ConsoleKit), which seems to indicate that things should work: > > I tried again with debugging enabled in consolekit, gnome-session and polkit, but there's still nothing to indicate what the problem might be: http://pastebin.com/Rx17NpLk As neither gnome-session nor gnome-shell fail, I cannot debug with gdb - after getting the gnome-session "oh no something's wrong" screen and exiting, gnome-shell still works (I can run gnome-control-center and connect to wifi for example), but of course the various gnome-session gnome desktop elements are all missing. Could somebody help me to modify the gnome-session/gnome-shell source for debugging purposes to either: 1. Short circuit the gnome-shell registration with gnome-session to force it to register without checking whatever it checks first. Or 2. Print useful messages at each stage of the registration process so I can see where it fails.
