Using wm2 and gnome classic I now get an endless stream of messages indicating what might have eaten up all my RAM:

Gnome-shell did complain about a modal dialog with a ridiculously high minimal size. Then I deleted all remains find -name calibre found from my home directoryand started anew. This time a dialog popped up asking me where to put the library. A soon as I answer this question the window manager crashes again. After switching to wm2 as window manager I got the following error messages: (python2.7:4620): Gtk-CRITICAL **: IA__gtk_widget_style_get: assertion `GTK_IS_WIDGET (widget)' failed - QNativeImage: Unable to attach to shared memory segment. - + QNativeImage: Unable to attach to shared memory segment.
