I've been using the MGSE media player extension for a while now and I've
noticed that since I've been using it, I've been running into issues
where the GNOME Shell stops working correctly. After an indeterminate
amount of time (it seems to vary) with Banshee running while using the
extension, I've noticed that the window switcher dialog (Alt+Tab) will
not leave the screen after it appears, the Shell overlay will no longer
appear, I cannot switch windows or launch new programs, and basically
the only thing I can feasibly do is force kill the session and log into
a new one. I'm fairly certain its the media player extension that's
causing this to happen, since this problem occurs on both Linux Mint 12
and Linux Mint Debian Edition with this extension installed and enabled,
and disabling the extension causes the problem to cease.
Some further info that may or may not be useful:
- Both my Mint 12 and LMDE installations are similarly configured, running on
the same physical hardware.
- Both OSes have the following list of extensions enabled (aside from the media
player extension, which I've disabled until further notice; all extensions are
MGSE packages except the weather indicator extension):
- noa11y
- User Themes
- Alt Tab
- Weather indicator
- Shutdown Menu
I can provide more info if people need it and let me know what it is
they need.
