Are you able to get a backtrace from this crash? Because you're using
systemd, the easiest way is probably:

* install the systemd-coredump package
* reproduce the crash
* run "coredumpctl gdb" (which might need to be run as root)
* use the "bt" command as described in
  https://wiki.debian.org/HowToGetABacktrace#Running_gdb

For the most useful backtrace, please install -dbgsym packages for
relevant packages (libmutter-3-0, gnome-shell, libglib2.0-0)
as described here:
https://wiki.debian.org/HowToGetABacktrace#Installing_the_debugging_symbols

The messages in the systemd journal or syslog immediately before
"Application 'org.gnome.Shell.desktop' killed by signal 11" are also
likely to be useful information.

Thanks,
