Gnome shell won't start

Question

After I updated my system on Friday (24th), Gnome shell won't start.
Whether I open it with `startx` or GDM, it crashes with the "Oh, no! Something has gone wrong" message. With GDM, it seems the whole of GDM crashes, as it happens before I see anything of the UI, and I don't have auto login enabled. For `startx`, I don't see any UI there either.
Here is my Xorg.0.log: http://sprunge.us/hhZj
Here is my .xinitrc: http://sprunge.us/VjSJ
Here is the stderr from startx: http://sprunge.us/UCHj
I tried cleaning all gnome extensions, to no avail. I tried creating a new user, and run gnome with startx from there, and that worked. I tried cleaning my ~, and launching gnome with startx, but that didn't work.
Any ideas on what might be wrong, or how to further debug this?
