I'm using gnome-shell 3.8.3 from experimental I'm still seeing lockups
every now and then. Not sure whether it's the same issue, but it's
annoying, it's rather frequent, and now with the workspace grid and
weather notification extensions rectifying the shortcomings of the
default behaviour I'd be very disappointed to have to abandon
gnome-shell.
Is there anything I can do to help debug this issue (unless it's
completely unrelated and should be filed separately).
Kind regards, David Weinehall
