I seem to be having a similar problem, details are posted below (shameless copy paste on gnome bug report I posted)
I'm not entirely sure how to do this, but I'll try my best to describe the problem. The general problem is that gnome-shell is crashing periodically whilst using it. It seems to do it when I hover over the "activities" button or when I'm in the activities interface. By crashes, I mean the whole interface disappears along with all my open applications. About 5 to 10 seconds later, everything returns as normal. I also have another issue whereby the gnome shell crashes, leaving all my applications visible, but I am unable to type in any application window. Last timme this happened, it caused a segfault: Jan 28 21:42:21 rymate-Aspire-5551 kernel: [38964.959537] gnome-shell[9134]: segfault at 2f89b5008 ip 00007fc7e9b180a8 sp 00007fffea359f00 error 4 in libglib-2.0.so.0.3000.0[7fc7e9ab8000+f4000] I have absolutely no idea what this means, I hope you lot can :) I'm running linux mint 12, all packages up to date, using the 12.1 AMD fglrx drivers.
