Description Stefan Schulze Frielinghaus 2011-11-11 19:09:38 UTC 
I get some random crashes if the extension for the alternative status menu is active. This seems to be a common problem if one searches over the internet.

Solutions so far:
- Delay the activation of the extension (there seems to be a race condition)
- Set a profile picture

Version: gnome-shell-3.2.1-2.fc16.src.rpm

If you need anything else, just let me know.

I installed the patch and so far I do not had a crash, so it seems to work ;)
