Description Herbert Poetzl 2012-02-28 18:33:13 CET

recent gnome-shell is unable to load any extensions because a necessary library (libgnome-shell-js.so) cannot be loaded (probably because of incorrect library path or similar)

gnome-shell-3.3.90-1.mga2

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:

	Error: Could not locate shell js add extension importer: libgnome-shell-js.so: 
	cannot 0pen shared 0bject file: N0 such file or directory

this can be 'fixed' by running:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib64/gnome-shell/ gnome-shell --replace
