When I started my computer today, I found out that the patch causes a
segfault during the gnome session startup, so X wouldn't come up. I've
attached a fixed patch. Another note is that the patch doesn't work for
the initial instance of gnome-shell. I'd guess that's because the "_"
environment variable isn't set during the session startup. The patch
should probably read the executable from /proc/self/cmdline rather than
the "_" environment variable. I can do that change if necessary, but
given that "gnome-shell --replace" works for getting the log anyway,
maybe the whole patch is unnecessary.
