gnome 3.2 - arch linux login problem

I recently upgraded my gnome 3 install to gnome 3.2.  Pacman threw an error so I forced the upgrade.  I am never forcing an upgrade again.  :)  The upgrade completed and when I rebooted I was greeted with a sad face saying I should contact my system administrator.  I hate it when software tells me to contact me.  After a brief google search I was left with people complaining about 3.2 being unstable and what not.  Thats what happens when you install something the day its released.  I decided to go on to sleep, it was almost midnight and I had work the next day.  When I got home I gave it another try, this time on the arch forums.  Much better info.  I issued these commands:

pacman -Rdd python2-gobject pygobject-devel cogl

Then:

pacman -S pygobject-devel cogl

Once I rebooted everything worked just fine.  I probably could have just removed python2-gobject and had it work.  Hope that helps someone else.
