GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 639005
gnome-shell crashing when activities menu is used.

Created attachment 177832 [details] Screenlog using debugging part of Gnomeshell site. Gnome-shell crash's on my system when I use the activities menu, the menu will open fine, but it will crash as soon as I click anything in it, or just try to close it with "esc" I have tested this in various system's with Mesa from 7.8.1 to the latest compiled from git. This effects me on debian testing and experimental, Ubuntu 10.10 and 11.04 and finally on Fedora 14. I have a Radeon mobility pro 4200 and previous (well old) versions of gnome-shell work fine. I was unsure if this is a driver bug or not, so I filed it under general.

This is a driver bug, some people have been reporting that on IRC,
Have filed a big on the Mesa side of things https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32918
Kernel 2.6.38-rc5 resolves this issue.
