Title:
Gnome session crashes when I plug in an external monitor sometimes.
Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Sometimes when I plug in an external monitor (HDMI cable), my gnome
session crashes. I'm sent to the login screen and when I log in none
of the stuff I had open is open any more. The expected behavior is
that plugging in a monitor does not crash the session. This doesn't
happen every time, but it has happened repeatedly.
Ubuntu version 24.04:
```
$ lsb_release -rd
No LSB modules are available.
Description: Ubuntu 24.04 LTS

gnome-shell version 46.0:

$ apt-cache policy gnome-shell

I've attached the bit of `journalctl` output from the time of the crash I
experienced just now. I think the relevant bit is at 11:02:21:

but I don't have much experience reading these things; I've included some
context before and after.
