SOLVED Gnome 3 Problem ( Fresh Install )

Hello,

I am wondering if I could get a bit of help with a problem I am having. I have a clean install of ArchLinux running Gnome 3. However only root can login using the interface. If I try to login with my user, it just displays a black screen for a second or so and then bounces back to login.

I didn't find any thing in the recent posts about this issue.

Any help would be great.

Thank you

Unfortunately from what I've read, there could be many reasons for why this is happening to you,
