I just updated to Maverick and now some applications crash Gnome when starting. The session is logged out and the login screen appears. It happened to me at least when starting the VirtualBox application (the GUI only; a headless server VM runs perfectly), and some Python scripts that use TkInter to present a GUI.
The following Python script (from http://www.pythonware.com/library/tkinter/introduction/hello-tkinter.htm), for example, crashes gdm:
from Tkinter import *
root = Tk()
w = Label(root, text="Hello, world!")
w.pack()
root.mainloop()
I traced the error to the gdm-simple-greeter; I get the following in /var/log/gdm/:0-greeter.log:
gdm-simple-greeter[6685]: Gtk-WARNING: /build/buildd/gtk+2.0-2.22.0/gtk/gtkwidget.c:5684: widget not within a GtkWindow
