My colleague is giving up on MATE. And XFCE has been having intermittent issues and here are some errors/logs. Anything stick out?
Difficult to say without knowing what to look for?
I've seen kgpg crashing in that log, but that may or may not be a problem.
The missing Composite and Fixes extensions are normal - you won't get any compositing effects, but that's okay.
Other than that, there's no major problem recorded in there.
This said, I've had a user on FC25 yesterday on IRC and he has reported problems with Emacs - which was built with GTK3 support. After he rebuilt it with GTK2, it started to work.
I also (ab)used him to test MATE and found out that mate-session is crashing upon start. Any GTK3 application crashes, basically, because of a bug in al ibrary used by GTK3 (libepoxy), that has been filed in Red Hats bugtracker for Fedora 24 already and fixed upstream for a while.
The root cause of that is that for some reason the GLX version is not reported correctly - instead a NULL pointer is thrown out. I don't see this behavior on Debian Jessie, which hints at a deeper problem with our nx-libs builds on Fedora 25 (and maybe even 24?)
I haven't yet been able to figure out why nxagent isn't doing what it should be doing, though.
