That's an option, of course. I don't know what else you could try; maybe try the 9999 gnome-shell version? I know the crash is happening in spidermonkey, but perhaps te live version of gnome-shell avoids that code path? The code for 3.2.1 cannot be *that* different from the live version. Maybe it's worth a try. Regards. -- Canek Peláez Valdés Posgrado en Ciencia e Ingeniería de la Computación Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México
