Installed touchpad indicator from:

https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/131/touchpad-indicator/

on Ubuntu 11.10. When I restarted my desktop gnome-shell failed to start.

Starting unity then running:

$ gnome-shell --replace >& ~/log.txt

yielded a log.txt containing:

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

the terminal window contained:

$ segmentation fault

I have an apple "magic" touchpad, which connects via bluetooth to a usb dongle when clicked. I am using the evdev drivers (and FWIW touchegg). gnome-shell starts succesfully if the touchpad is connected before gnome-shell is started. Running:

$ rm -r ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/touchpad-indicator@orangeshirt/

"fixes" the problem.
