Package: gnome-shell
Version: 3.2.2.1-4+b1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

I am using debian testing. Based on the latest testing updating, some gnome packages are version 3.4, while gnome-shell packages are still 3.2
However, since previous updating that updated xorg and xserver-xorg from 7.12 to 7.13 and some gnome packages to 3.4, 
gnome-shell frequently became dead during operating the browsers(firefox and chrome) or operating ibus.  
I switched to another tty and Htop showed that gnome-shell costed 70% cpu while X costed 30% cpu. 
Then I switch back to the desktop, the screen is black. I had to terminate the X and then re-enter startx to start gnome. After that it can work well but the same thing may happen soon or later
