After upgrading my packages today, gnome-session started segfaulting. I think I finally tracked the problem down to the recent changes in how Emacs searches for packages. Apparently Emacs now uses the search path $EMACSLOADPATH. Unfortunately, this is a very long value on my system:
$ echo $EMACSLOADPATH | wc -c 22525 When I add `unset EMACSLOADPATH` to the end of `~/.profile`, GNOME works again. -- Alex Griffin
