if you use ubuntu-bug first then you should be able to use apport- retrace if not you can always do "apport-unpack .crash dir" and the dir should have a coredump, then you can use "gdb /usr/bin/gnome-shell CoreDump" and get a backtrace from it (you might need to install some dbgsym binaries to get symbols though)

It happened, e.g. when a new e-mail was received in Thunderbird, or when I clicked the "play" button in the Spotify client. It may be linked to the dual screen setup I use, since I don't seem to have the same problem on my other laptop (single screen) with 17.10.
