Bug#675345: gnome-session: Display randomly freezes completely

Package: gnome-shell
Version: 3.4.2-7
Followup-For: Bug #675345

Dear Maintainer,

I can confirm this bug with both stock kernel in wheezy and 3.7 trunk. Gnome-shell seemingly randomly locks up (many hours apart).

Mouse, keys responsive but screen doesn't refresh. I can change terminal ie ctrl+alt+F2 etc. Find the pid and kill -9.
gnome-shell then restarts, back to normal.

 
hp sleekbook
intel hd4000 using kernel driver i915, (both kernel versions)


I have been through all /var/log/ files, there is nothing at the time of freeze, or that I can see which could be relevant prior to the freeze.
Can I help by installing a dbg package? I will need a bit of guidance, but am more than happy to help.
