Hello,
I have had this happen in one or another component of gnome before, but can not
recall which one.
Normally, it is solved by going to gnome's download site and making sure that
you have the latest stable version available, as sometimes there is a newer
version that is not yet in the book.
I would start by re-installing gnome-session and gnome-shell just to be sure.
If those versions are the latest and it still does not correct the issue, then
try re-installing mutter, and continue on with this process one package at a
time.
It is a slow and painful process, but normally I have found this method to work.
Regards,
Christopher.
