Bug#662639: gnome-shell: frequent lockups on hardware accelerated actions

[Lennert Van Alboom]

... and confirmed yet again, in gnome-shell 3.2.2.1-4.


Matteo: if it happens, try ctrl-alt-F1, log in to shell, and try:

$ killall -HUP gnome-shell

Check back with alt-F7 if it's come back. In 50% of the cases it will. If it
doesn't, go back to console (ctrl-alt-F1) and run:

$ killall gnome-shell
$ DISPLAY=:0.0 gnome-shell &

Then get back to your display (alt-F7) and save your work so you can log out
properly... because once you start gnome-shell by hand, it becomes unbearably
unstable (personal record: 7 freezes in under 10 minutes).
