Thanks for the positive feedback.

I'm using the 64-bit version of tinycorelinux on which I have gnome-3.10.x working without problems.

I've compiled everything for gnome-3.16.x, but cannot post the various extensions (packages) to the 
tinycorelinux repo as gnome-session will not run.

As posted, gnome-shell fails to register with gnome-session, but without any error messages to go on, I'm 
unable to fix things.

I had a quick look at the site you mention, but I don't see any patches that stand out as being likely to fix 
my problem?

Thanks again
John
