If possible, please install 'openssh-server' and log into the machine
from a second machine via the 'ssh' command. Now find out the PID of
gnome-shell (the one running as yourself, not gdm), and type out this
command without yet pressing Enter:

  apport-cli --hanging -P PID

Now reproduce the freeze on the first machine and while it is freezing
press Enter on the above command on the second machine. If it doesn't
work then retry with:

  sudo apport-cli --hanging -P PID

That will hopefully create a new bug report showing where it is
freezing.

Title:
  Closing a window on the desktop freezes the desktop for a minute or
  more.

Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  When I close a window on the gnome desktop. The desktop often freezes
  for anything between 30 seconds and a number of minutes. I notice this
  most often when closing a terminal window with ctrl+d.

  When look at the syslog and cpu usage (top) from a terminal logged in
  via ssh I see gnome-shell running at 100% and various gnome-shell
  error messages being reports. On the longer freezes the display often
  corrupts and the compositor can take a number of minutes to recover.
