Bug#702809: gnome-shell: gnome desktop sporadically freezes

Package: gnome-shell
Version: 3.4.2-7
Severity: normal

Hello,

sometimes the gnome desktop freezes completely. I can do nothing with my mouse except 
just moving the mouse cursor.
But I am then still able to switch to the text console using the keys CTRL + Alt + F1
If I do a kill -HUP on the console as root for the process /usr/bin/gnome-shell
the gnome desktop is unfreezed again and I can proceed to work with the computer.

But this is not a satisfactory solution.

Kind regards,
Michael
