Description Xavier Claessens 2012-05-16 13:53:49 UTC 
Since empathy uses the new menu goodies (bug #667619), gnome-shell randomly freeze. I did not understood when it happens, but it is related to opening/closing empathy's window and its menu.

When gnome-shell, I attached to its pid in a ctr-alt-f1 terminal, and got that backtrace:

I had to "kill -9" gnome-shell's process to have it respawn.
Comment 1 Xavier Claessens 2012-05-16 13:54:15 UTC 
This is with gnome-shell 3.4.1-0ubuntu2
Comment 2 Owen Taylor 2012-05-16 15:02:10 UTC 
- Does it freeze in an infinite loop, or idle?
- Can run it from the terminal as --replace before reproducing the bug so you can call gjs_dump_stack() from gdb (this dumps to stderr)  (http://fishsoup.net/tmp/xenv.sh is what I use so I can  '. xenv.sh' from a VT and then run gnome-shell --replace)
Comment 3 Jasper St. Pierre (not reading bugmail) 2012-05-16 15:04:49 UTC 
Looks like it's settings a keep-alive based on a toggle ref. Looks like normal operation to me.
Comment 4 Giovanni Campagna 2012-05-20 22:51:23 UTC 
This is a probably a duplicate of https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=676447 , which is newer but has patches.
Comment 5 Guillaume Desmottes 2012-05-31 10:04:15 UTC 
Yeah that seems to fix it. Thanks!
