Bug Description
I have variety 0.6.3 that starts - or should start :) - when I log in to my desktop.
It crashes EVERY time.
I have Gnome3 on both my PCs, one with ubuntu 14.04 and this one from which I'm writing is freshly updated to 16.04.
Gnome reports Variety has crashed, and asks me to leave it closed or relaunch it: I always relaunch it and then it works fine.
I don't know how to do the -v thing you ask here in the bottom to create a log file, because I don't know where to put it to make it work at login (and if I start variety by hand, it works fine).
thanks a lot
I really like variety and I will continue to click "relaunch" without being annoyed by that; just wanted to let you know.
cheers!

Same here on Ubuntu 16.04 (Unity) and Variety 0.6.3 installed from the official PPA.
I added the -v to the startup entry, but had some trouble with the log getting messed up. I could give it another go if requested.
Sometimes Ubuntu will pop up an error message about it, and sometimes not, but 90% of the time Variety does not launch correctly on startup and I have to launch it manually.
