Description palfrey 2011-12-08 17:23:12 UTC 
I haven't installed the telepathy account manager, but I'm repeatedly seeing the following in my .xsession-errors:

    JS ERROR: !!!   Exception was: Error: Error invoking TelepathyGLib.prepare_finish: The name org.freedesktop.Telepathy.AccountManager was not provided by any .service files
    JS ERROR: !!!     lineNumber = '0'
    JS ERROR: !!!     fileName = '"gjs_throw"'
    JS ERROR: !!!     stack = '"("Error invoking TelepathyGLib.prepare_finish: The name org.freedesktop.Telepathy.AccountManager was not provided by any .service files")@gjs_throw:0
([object _private_TelepathyGLib_AccountManager],[object _private_Gio_SimpleAsyncResult])@/usr/share/gnome-shell/js/ui/telepathyClient.js:371

This is using the Debian 3.2.1-7 package.

I think this is causing the shell to occasionally restart, as I can't see anything else obvious in the .xsession-errors.

Yeah the Shell relies on telepathy-mission-control being installed. The debian package should depend on it.
