Bug#649459: gnome-shell: when opening modal window from iceweasel goes into infinite(?) loop and does not react anymore

Package: gnome-shell
Version: 3.0.2-6
Severity: critical
Justification: breaks unrelated software

Hi all,

I had now repeatingly the same effect, destroying quite some work because
there was no way to stop that gnome-shell running maniac but killing
the display server:
- start iceweasel
- go to google maps
- select my places
- selct new map
- select "import"
a window starts where you can enter either a path to local file
or a URL. Clicking into the local file entry box should open
a file selector. Instead, the whole desktop just goes wild:
- Alt-Tab does not work
- killing a window with the cross in the right top does not work
- going to "Activities" does not work anymore
After killing iceweasel from the console, I sill have a white
box in the middle of the screen (probably where the file selector
should have appeared).

In addition, the .xsession-errors file is growing infinitely
and an incredible speed. I killed it at 3.6M (!!!) and about
2000 repetitions of the same error:
------------------------------------------------
    JS ERROR: !!!   Exception in callback for signal: prepare-frame
    JS ERROR: !!!     lineNumber = '25'
    JS ERROR: !!!     fileName = '"/usr/share/gnome-shell/js/ui/windowManager.js"'

"'
-----------------------------------------------

At some point, probably when I killed iceweasel, I also got:

      JS LOG: pushModal: invocation of begin_modal failed

----------------------------------------------------------

Only solution to get a working system back is stop gdm, which is a serious no-go
if you are logged in and running several apps.

Thanks a lot and all the best

Norbert
