gdb session

After I step away from the machine for a while, when I come back and wake up from screensaver, gnome-shell is unresponsive with the following symptoms:

1) message tray doesn't go away
2) clicking any of the top panel icons highlights them, but the bubbles don't show up
3) super key / activities view / alt+f2 for run dialog don't do anything
4) window focus switching works briefly, but then focus is stuck on a single window

kill -9-ing the shell appears to be the only way to kill it once it gets in this state, as well.

attached is a gdb session from during a "freeze" (not a full lockup, so not sure if it's actually helpful?)

forgot to mention this is with GNOME Shell 3.1.90.1 on ubuntu oneiric
Comment 2 Jasper St. Pierre (not reading bugmail) 2011-09-17 05:17:10 UTC
I'm going to guess this is a dup of the unredirected windows bug, bug #658228
