Already on gnome 3.4, unmasked from default portage, no overlay.
Complete rebuild over with O2, still getting these errors:
Http://bpaste.net/show/34934
It seems I was using only gnome-shell 3.4 and did not update others.
Now I unmasked 3.4 completely (gnome-base/*, gnome-extra/*).
It's much more stable than 3.2, except for the two faults I pasted
above.
Watching this thing now for crashes, will post update soon.
And boo.. it crashed just after writing the previous mail. Upto 3
windows on the single workspace was good, with 4 it crashed. :|
No faults reported in dmesg though.
Is my video card incompetent?
I'm compelled to concolude that GNOME3 simply does not work on 4-5 year
old hardware. Yeah, on a Dual Core 2 Ghz, 3 GB RAM, and i945 128 MB.
I'm back to my cozy place, KDE and alsaequal (instead of pulseaudio).
