Description Christian Dywan 2011-08-16 21:26:12 UTC 
I've only seen one crash of GNOME Shell, so it's pleasantly stable for me, but I felt it was more fatal than it need be.

A black screen saying "you need to close the session".

I could still hear music from my open rhythmbox, which made me think my open, unsaved work is also still there - and yet, I can't get to it. This is frustrating.

In this situation I really want to be able to look at the open windows so I can save my data. I guess I don't mind closing the session after that if that's required.
