Package: gnome-shell
Version: 3.4.2-1
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
I am finding that GNOME Shell freezes fairly frequently on my workstation. By freeze I mean that the mouse
pointer still moves but no interaction causes any activity to GNOME Shell: the only key combinations that have any
effect are Ctrl-Alt-Del and Ctrl-Alt-Back – I have enable Ctrl-Alt-Back as the X killer. Although GNOME
Shell has frozen, the machine is otherwise running normally, i.e. if I login over SSH from another machine, the
workstation is processing normally, it is just GNOME Shell that has cease responding.
The problem is not a timing one, e.g. every two hours, sometimes it is a couple of days, sometimes 10
mins. It is always associated with a "mouse to top-left" from desktop i.e. changing from desktop to GNOME
Shell. I cannot be sure if the super key has the same problem, as I tend not use that, but I will
experiment. I believe that the GNOME Shell freeze only ever happens when Evolution is an application on the
current desktop. Clearly I need to do more experimenting to get more data, but it would be good to get
guidance on what would be the very best experiments to maximally help find the problem.
