Right, that's a real application problem, in gnome-shell or its
libraries. However, as far as I can see, that was on older CPUs (Pentium
III-M) that neither support nor claim to support the instruction-set
extensions used (required?) by llvmpipe, as opposed to a misconfigured
VM that claims to support extensions that it cannot?
