Not particularly, because I probably don't have precisely the same
versions of libraries that you do. I might need to ask you to install
-dbgsym packages and get a backtrace with `coredumpctl gdb` if we can't
work out what's going on any other way.

This looks like it could be
<https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/issues/2709>. If so, there's
a fix in upstream git (not uploaded to Debian yet).
