Gnome "Something Has Gone Wrong" Error

[idunbar]

Hello,

I'm running CentOS 7.1.1503 on top of Microsoft Hyper-V. I've just done a clean install off of the 1503 media, no updates yet. When the machine first boots I briefly get the Gnome language selector and then the "Oh No! Something has gone wrong" screen comes up. Thinking there might have been a problem with first-run create user screens I added a user via SSH and rebooted. Still received the "Something has gone wrong" error. Here is the pertinent output of /var/log/messages:

I will say that the last time I installed CentOS 7 on Hyper-V it was 7.0 and I did not get this error. Is there something wrong with the Hyper-V drivers in 7.1? Does anyone know how to fix this? I suppose I could go back and install CentOS 6.6 if I have to, but I would like to find out how to fix this. We have some VMs running 7 that have yet to be updated, and I'd hate to have to forgo updates in perpetuity. I would appreciate any help that can be given.

Looks like it's a Gnome issue. I reinstalled as a minimal install and installed KDE. If I start KDE manually with "startx" it works just fine, but if I run GDM I get the same error as before. Still not sure what the problem is, but since I'm only using the GUI for installing Oracle this will be a reasonable workaround.
