Let's replace gnome-session-failed with another program, so we can keep the
session alive and use gnome-shell without seeing the fullscreen 'Something has
gone wrong' message.

When gnome-session-failed shows, switch to another virtual console and find the
PID of gnome-session-failed. Type the following commands to use gdb to replace
it with cat. I use devel/gdb port because the version included in base crashes
when I type 'attach'.

$ gdb710
(gdb) attach <pid_of_gnome_session_failed>
(gdb) p execl("/bin/cat", "cat", (char*)0)

Keep gdb running and switch back to the graphical virtual console and you can
use gnome-shell without being blocked by the fullscreen message. You can use it
to launch terminal and test
'/usr/local/libexec/gnome-settings-daemon-localeexec &'. gnome-settings-daemon
has to be run inside the graphical session.
