Re: More "Object ... proto .. doesn't have a dynamically-registered class, it has .."

[Amy C <mathematical coffee gmail com>]

Today my last remaining computer that had GNOME shell working (Ubuntu
12.04, GNOME shell 3.4.1), failed with the same error. Perhaps it
wasn't an update, because since that happened to the first computer
I'd been holding back on any updates on this one to make sure I still
had one computer to use GNOME shell on. It did have the same group of
updates as my previous computer did (and I suspected that updating
these on the previous computer is what caused the error on this one),
so I didn't do them. A fresh user didn't help.

I did install a couple of packages though between gnome-shell working
and not-working: here they are (none seem relevant, and there are
*none* in common with the set of updates I suspect broke the previous
computer, so perhaps updates isn't the problem)?

Another thing that I've just thought of that I did on all three
computers (Fedora GNOME 3.2, and two Ubuntu 3.4s) before they broke
was
install Spidermonkey JS from source. However I definitely have
restarted gnome-shell multiple times since that install with no
issues. But given that the problem on the Fedora computer was that
'/usr/local/lib' was before '/usr/lib' on $LD_LIBRARY_PATH, perhaps
one of these updates somehow bumped a spidermonkey library up the
search order and that is causing the problem??

Packages installed between working and not-working on Ubuntu GNOME
3.4.1 computer #2:
