Details

Currently all clutter-based apps crash with software rasterizer (drop an X server error on launch). This problem was fixed recently by upstream, and already applied by Fedora[1][2].

I recommend to apply these upstream patches:
- http://cgit.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/commit/?id=d44f821213d7ed67fed18d6ea6c34b61a665c89e
- http://cgit.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/commit/?id=25620eb1d277c6b80edb136eaeca12532fcfd3ce

To fix the following GNOME apps:
- caribou
- cheese
- emerillon (from AUR)
- eog map plugin (from eog-plugins)
- empathy calling interface (possibly fix for  FS#26623 )
- gnibbles (from gnome-games)
- gnome-color-manager
- gnome-documents
- gthumb
- quadrapassel (from gnome-games)
- sushi
- totem

I tested the patches, and I able to run these apps and even GNOME Shell with disabled GPU check. The rendering is a bit jerky, but everything work without crash.
