Description Jason Ekstrand 2015-11-18 03:57:09 UTC 
I can reproduce this reliably with the ImageMagick "display" app.  All you have to do is open up your trusty gnome-terminal and type

$ display image1.png &
$ display image2.png

and bye-bye gnome-shell.  You can also crash it if you open the two apps from separate terminals.

Do you have a Xwayland crash logged?

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, then please follow
  https://wiki.gnome.org/GettingInTouch/BugReportingGuidelines
and create a new ticket at
  https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/mutter/-/issues/

Thank you for your understanding and your help.
