Bug#696360: nvidia-glx: Sporadic X freezes in gnome shell

Mon Apr 29 23:31:56 UTC 2013

I've also encountered this problem. With Wheezy gnome-shell 3.4 I
would get recurrent lockups exactly as described in this bug report. I
tried upgrading to 304.88 and 313.30 but nothing worked. Finally I
tried upgrading to gnome 3.8 in experimental and that seemed to help,
because I didn't experience this again.

I reinstalled a fresh wheezy based on KDE and so far I've had no
problems using version 304.88. I think this might be gnome specific.
