In hacking on gnome-shell, I often break things and have to restart the shell (or crash it).
It seems that gnome-session notices this, as after gnome-shell exits a few times (because I broke or restarted it), gnome-session pops up a fullscreen X window saying something along the lines of "Oh no, something is broken, you'll need to log out and back in again". I really don't want to lose my session every time this happens, and I know that gnome-shell starts up again just fine, but the gnome-session window obscures it completely. I googled around but couldn't find any way of telling gnome-session that everything's fine. I ended up installing python-wnck, and doing something along the lines of: import wnck wins = wnck.screen_get_default().get_windows() < take a while to figure out which window belongs to gnome-session > wins[12].close(0) But that was difficult, and seems a crazy thing to have to do as part of regular development. Am I missing something? Do others get the same error message, and how do you get rid of it without logging out and back in again?
