[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1738651] [NEW] top right panel in Gnome Metacity Freezes a few minutes after login

[Hail Holy Ghost]

Public bug reported:

Hello,

I've reinstalled Ubuntu 17.10, and the top right panel in Gnome Metacity
fails to respond after a minute or so.

The left click doesn't work, but the right click does work (although it
doesn't fix anything, it only says "About" which is useless).  The upper
left "Applications" and "Places" still works.

I should also add that the time freezes as well.

[Desktop-packages] [Bug 1387219] Re: Mouse pointer disappears and cursor stops blinking

[Hail Holy Ghost]

Emilien Klein, I did what you did, but this does not solve anything.

I get this error too, but perhaps this debug message will help to
isolate and solve the problem:

con@laptop:~/Documents/Simmons/CPF1409004/Bamfiles$ 
(gedit:6804): Gdk-ERROR **: The program 'gedit' received an X Window System 
error.
This probably reflects a bug in the program.
The error was 'BadLength (poly request too large or internal Xlib length erro'.
  (Details: serial 8426980 error_code 16 request_code 18 (core protocol) 
minor_code 0)
  (Note to programmers: normally, X errors are reported asynchronously;
   that is, you will receive the error a while after causing it.
   To debug your program, run it with the GDK_SYNCHRONIZE environment
   variable to change this behavior. You can then get a meaningful
   backtrace from your debugger if you break on the gdk_x_error() function.)
