This morning my up-to-date main machine refused to start gnome-shell. An empty desktop is what I get. Fortunately, I was able to access the system settings by doing a right-click on the desktop and asking to change its background. I then browsed to Details and switched from gnome-shell to fallback mode, were I'm right now.
The system seems to boot normally all the way to the desktop (I usually use automatic login). Once the background appears (by the way, I set nautilus to control the desktop), the hard disk shows very little activity and then stops altogether. Any ideas what's going on? I'll now go to bugzilla and see what I can find there.

Further info. I got this message window during my latest attempt at login into gnome-shell
Could not create ICE listening socket: Cannot establish any listening sockets
The window includes a logout button which does precisely that. So far, nothing similar in bugzilla.

I tried this fix, but didn't work:
http://ask.fedoraproject.org/question/872/could-not-create-ice-listening-socket
It removed everything, except for .ICE-unix which it didn't find.

Filed bug report 813234. Any temporary fix tip will be very much appreciated.
