Simplest test would be to boot to runlevel 3, log in as 'liveuser' (no password), and run startx. If that fails, it looks like that crasher in mutter is your problem and you should report that (it may turn out to be a graphics card issue rather than a mutter issue).
Yes I have tried that and the mutter crasher is indeed the issue! However I can't get at the log files (I mean I can't save them as it is a live system) I can see loads of error messages on a VT and could take a photo - but it would be nice if I could save messages and/or the xorg log file and attach that to a bz.
I have managed to plug it into a wire and get the messages file out via rsync to another machine on my LAN - I will bz it.
Great. What I usually do is just plug in another USB key and write error logs out to that. You can mount a USB key just fine when booted live.
