I hit this semi-regularly, but mainly when launching gnome-shell from a VT, over SSH, gdb etc. I don't think I have seen it when running shell from within gnome-terminal on the current X session. Also this is with the NVIDIA blob.
Nvidia is present in my case also, and this happens with nvidia-304 as well as nvidia-331. However, this is a new occurrence. I had been running gnome-shell 3.10 on Ubuntu 13.10, w/ nvidia-331, and hadn't seen this issue until a couple of days ago. It happens consistently as soon as I login -- it's not the user-switching scenario for which others have reported this issue, the system has only one user and I am logging in locally. Tracing back my apt history, the issue most likely appeared after the following update: ===== Start-Date: 2014-01-28 18:56:23 Commandline: apt-get -V upgrade Upgrade: mysql-server-core-5.5:amd64 (5.5.35-0ubuntu0.13.10.1, 5.5.35-0ubuntu0.13.10.2), libpangoxft-1.0-0:amd64 (1.36.0-1ubuntu1~saucy1, 1.36.1-0ubuntu1~saucy1), mysql-client-core-5.5:amd64 (5.5.35-0ubuntu0.13.10.1, 5.5.35-0ubuntu0.13.10.2), libpango1.0-dev:amd64 (1.36.0-1ubuntu1~saucy1, 1.36.1-0ubuntu1~saucy1), libpango-1.0-0:amd64 (1.36.0-1ubuntu1~saucy1, 1.36.1-0ubuntu1~saucy1), gir1.2-pango-1.0:amd64 (1.36.0-1ubuntu1~saucy1, 1.36.1-0ubuntu1~saucy1), libpangocairo-1.0-0:amd64 (1.36.0-1ubuntu1~saucy1, 1.36.1-0ubuntu1~saucy1), libpangoft2-1.0-0:amd64 (1.36.0-1ubuntu1~saucy1, 1.36.1-0ubuntu1~saucy1), mysql-common:amd64 (5.5.35-0ubuntu0.13.10.1, 5.5.35-0ubuntu0.13.10.2), libmysqlclient18:amd64 (5.5.35-0ubuntu0.13.10.1, 5.5.35-0ubuntu0.13.10.2), libpango1.0-0:amd64 (1.36.0-1ubuntu1~saucy1, 1.36.1-0ubuntu1~saucy1) End-Date: 2014-01-28 18:57:11 ===== I simulated reversing the libpangoxft-1.0 update and saw that it would trigger _lots_ of uninstalls, so I didn't reverse it. I can't therefore confirm that the issue resulted from the update. Gnome remains unusable on the system in question.
GNOME is going to shut down bugzilla.gnome.org in favor of gitlab.gnome.org. As part of that, we are mass-closing older open tickets in bugzilla.gnome.org which have not seen updates for a longer time (resources are unfortunately quite limited so not every ticket can get handled). If you can still reproduce the situation described in this ticket in a recent and supported software version of cogl, then please follow https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines and create a ticket at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/cogl/-/issues/ Thank you for your understanding and your help.
