[solved] Gnome 3 crashes on startup

Hi everyone,

since the two days now a strange error prevents gnome 3 from starting up. It loads, shows my background and the mouse and then crashes.
The errors I found in everything.log are:

I start gnome 3 via .xinitrc "exec ck-launch-session gnome-session". Removing gnome-shell completely doesn't work either (gnome-panel segfaults and results in the same behaviour).
X.org, however, works (writing this from xfce )

I already tried re-installing gnome-shell and glibc. The last updated before this happened were

But they don't seem related to me...

I'm running x86-64 and was working since a while now without problems with gnome 3 (and actually liked it).

Does anyone have a similar behavior or any clues what to do?

Greetings

Update: Seems like some recent update solved the issue. Everything works fine again
