Bug#675345: gnome-shell: I confirm this bug

[Jacob Barkdull]

I can confirm this bug.

Though, I have not found a concrete way to reproduce the freeze.
However, it happens just as most of the people have reported, it's
seemingly random, and I can still move the mouse but everything else
doesn't visually respond. "Ctrl+Alt+F1 -> killall gnome-shell" works to
restart gnome-shell, and all is well until it freezes again.

The only bit of information I can give is that my current system was
setup by installing Debian Squeeze then upgrading to Wheezy. And that I
have my keyboard set to nearly no delay and very fast speed.

Is it possibly just faulty hardware? Can a video card break in such a
way that only a specific graphic function can make a program
unresponsive?
