Thanks. Yes indeed the X server has zero monitors attached, but still has a usable desktop area of 1024x768. For gnome-shell this just means it won't draw any panel/launcher etc. Because it prefers to only do that on the primary monitor, which there is none.

Next please report the bug to the gnome-shell developers at:

and then tell us the new issue ID.
