[gentoo-user] gnome-shell behavior

2012-02-20 Thread Stefan G. Weichinger
Pressing the super-key/windows-key and entering something via keyboard does not work anymore. It seems to crash the gnome-shell or so, it gets reloaded, but no way to start applications via keyboard right now . I rebuilt all around gnome-shell, clutter ... disabled extensions, didn't help so far.
