Public bug reported: I had installed fglrx-updates through Jockey, which crashed. I had then gone to command line and apt-get install fglrx-updates, which didn't crash. I then rebooted a couple of times and all seemed well.
Then today, with no other changes having happened, Gnome Shell ceased up on boot, unresponsive to clicks or keyboard, and seemed to be also holding back wireless connections. fun. I believe it was in purging fglrx with apt-get that this crash occurred. I am now back on the hotter and half-speed (according to glx-gears) OS drivers and have managed to boot fine.
