Gnome-shell crashes as soon as I try to open any app

This is the first time that I'm trying Arch and I only have one problem, the one that's in the title. I installed lxde and everything is working fine. Video drivers are working great (I can play Team Fortress 2) whit out a problem, and Gnome-shell loads just fine. I can go to Activities, switch desktop, click on the indicators, but as soon as I try to open an app, all crashes. I logged in lxde, opened a terminal and i typed "gnome-shell --replace" to see the outut and this is what I got:

$ gnome-shell --replace

gnome-shell-calendar-server[9290]: Got HUP on stdin - exiting

If anyone could help me, it would be really great.

Do you have networkmanager installed?

Nevermind, while that does seem to be an error with nmapplet, it would appear that you also have a problem with policykit. Are you using a desktop manager to load gnome?

Edit: Eh, nevermind that also. I'm guessing the bottom two lines is a segmentation fault. Not sure what is going on with the gnome-shell-calendar-server. Hopefully someone more familiar with gnome than me shows up to help you.

It's not crashing there; you can see from the output that it sef-faults when trying to access the calendar service. Something about HUP on stdin.

Yeah, caught it myself (albeit slower than you did.

Would disabling the calendar service help? Is it posible?

Ok. I fixed it, I'm not sure of what was causing the trouble, and it certainly this isn't the best solution, but I just deleted .gconf and .gnome2. Thanks, anyway.

I know I said I fixed it, but I found what's the problem. If I try to set the window decorations to be in the left side, instead of the right size, everything would crash. Should I file a bug?
