--- Comment #8 from Ting-Wei Lan <lantw44@gmail.com> ---
(In reply to jetmomo from comment #7)
gnome-session-failed screen, or 'Something has gone wrong' screen, is launched
by gnome-session when a required app fails to start or crashes too quickly, so
we should check messages printed by gnome-session.

This line should be related:
gnome-session[1712]: WARNING: Application 'gnome-settings-daemon.desktop'
failed to register before timeout

It seems the problem is caused by gnome-settings-daemon.

You said you could see gnome-shell, so the problem was not caused by
gnome-shell. Both gnome-shell and gnome-settings-daemon are required apps in
gnome-session, so either of them crashes can cause the gnome-session-failed
screen to be showed.

I don't have a specific command to debug this kind of issue. System call
tracers like truss and ktrace may help you figure out the cause of the problem,
but sometimes source code debugging may be required ...
