On a new oi151a9 installation I have the problem that on gnome session start, the gnome-panel is not visible. I get only the green backdrop, but I can start a terminal with right mouse click context menu.
if I run in the terminal:
$ gnome-panel --replace
all is fine.

What is going wrong on session start? .xsession-erros logs only:

which looks normal for me.

Any help appreciated.

What do you have set under "Appearance" -> "Visual Effects" ?

I had issues a while back where I could no longer run compiz on Illumos
(Intel based graphics) and had to turn it off to get the desktop working
correctly ...

There is set 'None'

but there are logged some warnings on startup:
(gnome-appearance-properties:3374): Gtk-WARNING **: Could not load image '/usr/share/gnome-control-center/pixmaps/visual-effects_none.svg': Couldn't recognize the image file format for file '/usr/share/gnome-control-center/pixmaps/visual-effects_none.svg'

the pixmaps thing ... hmm I've seen that before, let me find the command to
fix it.

yep, found it:

***@jadlaptop:~# gdk-pixbuf-query-loaders --update-cache

***@jadlaptop:~# grep -i svg /usr/lib/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders.cache
"/usr/lib/gdk-pixbuf-2.0/2.10.0/loaders/libpixbufloader-svg.so"
"svg" 2 "gdk-pixbuf" "Scalable Vector Graphics" "LGPL"
"image/svg+xml" "image/svg" "image/svg-xml" "image/vnd.adobe.svg+xml"
"text/xml-svg" "image/svg+xml-compressed" ""
"svg" "svgz" "svg.gz" ""
" <svg" "* " 100
" <!DOCTYPE svg" "* " 100
