Opening a bug report is usually the best way to solve these problems,
even more if you are running testing/sid. But I would first look if the
bug (or a similar one) is already opened:
For gnome-shell:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?pkg=gnome-shell;dist=unstable
For gnome-panel:
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/pkgreport.cgi?pkg=gnome-panel;dist=unstable

I think a segfault is something worth to report. It can be a problem with
a package or colliding library and these ones are very hard to debug by
your own (at least for me :-) ).

Have you tried to create a new fresh user and login with it? This would
be the first step I'd try...
