Title:
gnome-shell hangs when switching to a running VMWare Player Window in
Thank you for reporting this bug to Ubuntu.
Ubuntu 11.10 (oneiric) reached end-of-life on May 9, 2013.
See this document for currently supported Ubuntu releases:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases
We appreciate that this bug may be old and you might not be interested
in discussing it any more.
Not only gnome-shell hangs, but the whole NVIDIA video driver. I can
switch a text console (no visible output eighter), login blindly, and
kill -9 -1 for all my apps, this resets the video, and all visible
again. It happens several times a day. Very annoying...
Just after I started to use
I can start and use everything, but after a while the hang happens.

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.

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

As has been posted by several others, you can drop to the console and

I can confirm the bug.
This is not Nvidia specific since I use the radeon driver on an ATI
card.
I believe the hangs primarily appear when VMware looses focus, but are
otherwise completely random. The rate is closer to 1:100 than 1:10.

I've experienced this issue as well. The temporary workaround to resolve
it is to drop to tty1, log in and do:
killall -9 gnome-shell
This (should have!) the effect of re-loading the GNOME Shell, and
everything should start working again.
