GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 710050
window_backed_app_get_window lets shell crashes sometimes
Last modified: 2015-10-08 03:01:47 UTC
Sometimes my GNOME Shell just crashes and prints out: ERROR:shell-app.c:149:window_backed_app_get_window: assertion failed: (app->runnig_state) I think this could be a part of this bug: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=905914 Or this commit: https://mail.gnome.org/archives/commits-list/2011-August/msg06567.html I can not assign this behavior to an action but i think it appears most times if i want to access the activity panel.

I have same problem with 3.10.2. gnome-shell crashes occasionally:
+ Trace 233092
i got this when clicking on the evolution calendar notification at the bottom. From the trace I can guess it was trying to launch evolution. I have installed the missing debug symbols and retraced the coredump. this trace should be ... helpful :)
+ Trace 233108
Thread 1 (Thread 0x7f33413ada00 (LWP 1994))

Evolution never started for me, and in frame 5 gnome-shell is trying to determine which window some app has.
