Package: gnome-shell
Version: 3.4.2-7+b1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
I had a well-working Debian GNU/Linux System on a GPT hard disk migrated from a ordinary PC laptop to a MacBook5,2 machine(which uses Nvidia north and south bridge chips,and an NV GeForce 9400M G GPU), by adjusting partitions with gparted to make a EFI partition, installing grub-efi to make it possible to boot linux kernel from EFI directly, and update-initramfs.
Now, the MacBook5,2 works almost perfectly, except that if I use gnome-shell as window manager, it may freeze the screen occasionally(for example, when I am surfing on WWW with iceweasel). When it occurs, the mouse can still move the cursor, but cannot do clicking; the keyboard will be out of order(even caps-lock and ctrl-alt(-fn)-F1~F6, which prevent me from escaping to other PTYs then do something to rescue!).All I can do to escape from such situation is to log in from another computer via ssh, and kill the Xorg. Killing programs whose window is in the screen or the window manager gnome-shell will never make any changes on the screen.
If I use the metacity as window manager(by chooing "GNOME-Classic" while logging in), the problem will never occur(at least it have not occurred yet).
Gnome-shell works fine on my other PCs running Debian testing.
Now I have to stay using metacity on this MacBook5,2.
