Mutter 3.16.1.1-1 crash as soon as gnome logs in (using automatic login in gdm).
3.16.1-2 works fine.
3.16.1-1 crashed in a similar way, which was fixed on 3.16.1-2.
Perhaps the same should be applied to 3.16.1.1-1.
This task depends upon

Can you get traces with debug symbols, please?

Well, I would really like that, but if I'm not mistaken this must be done while running the problematic version.
Problem is, system is pretty much unusable with 3.16.1.1, see this video (wait for the 24 seconds mark):

* EDIT *
Happens on 3.16.1-2 as well... will try some more.

OK, weird graphical issue aside, is this helpful?

I got the same problem with a similar trace for Mutter/X.

Wayland is barely usable (a lot of strange things are happening like popovers always on the top left part of the screen, gnome terminal not launching from nautilus because "there is no display", double-click aren't working, etc) but at least it does launch.

I noticed that the Nouveau driver was crashing (see attachement). This might be unrelated though but this might also be a bug in Nouveau...

Is this fixed with latest clutter+clutter-gtk?

Hi Jan,
Unfortunately, yes, still crashing.
Back to 3.16.1-2

Hello again.
Not sure which recent update fixed the issue, but current [testing] based updated system works fine.
Using latest mutter 3.16.3-1 and no crash on login.
