Description Michael Hill 2012-01-25 14:08:31 CET 
Description of problem:
Boxes fails to start when launched from the icon. When launched from a terminal, I get an unending loop of this message:
GLib-GIO-CRITICAL g_dbus_connection_register_object: assertion `G_IS_DBUS_CONNECTION (connection)' failed. (minus some of the punctuation)
On the evening of 20 January, Boxes was running. The following morning I ran 'urpmi --auto-update' in the hopes that the GNOME Shell bug would be fixed (it was as of 24 January). A number of package updates were installed (I will try to figure out which when I know where to look). Running in fallback mode, I launched Boxes from a terminal and got the error loop. I confirmed it from GNOME Shell last night and this morning after the Clutter upgrade made it usable again.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
3.3.4-2

How reproducible:
Launch Boxes

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a gnome-terminal.
2. Type 'gnome-boxes &'
3. Error ensues, forcing manual closing of the terminal.
