--- Comment #4 from Eero Tamminen <eero.t.tamminen at intel.com> ---
With what OS and desktop this is?

Have you installed all the updates to that OS version?


The warnings in your gnome session output don't indicate an issue with graphics
stack, but issue in your system setup:

Based on above output:
- bluetooth doesn't work
- pulseaudio setup is broken
- cairo version is incompatible with your desktop
- upstart environment variable is missing so something doesn't get started
- things are run as root although they shouldn't
- problem with gnome-settings

First two probably aren't critical, Cairo issue could.  You need a version of
Cairo which ABI matches what rest of your desktop expects.
