H, I may have been a little premature - I have had two shell-hangs now, 1
each on a different machine - both with the below configuration. It's a lot
less frequent than before, but I still seem to be getting some.
Gnome-shell 3.4.1
vmplayer 4.0.2 build-591240
Ubuntu 12.04 kernel 3.2.0-24
Using Precise and Gnome 3.4, after 5 hours of intensive task switching
between vmware player and other linux programs, no crashes yet. I would
normally have had to restart the shell a few times at the very least
during this sort of workload.
It's possible gnome-shell 3.4 contains the fix to this
Ditto for both my (physical desktop) machines with vmware player :
Guest: Win XP, VM tools up to date
Host: Ubuntu 11.10
Desktop: Gnome-shell
Video Driver: Intel® G41 x86/MMX/SSE2 (and on the other desktop, same symptoms
with Gallium open source driver for ATI HD 6770 card)
Gnome-shell appears
