how do I go about diagnosing a windowing problem that only happens under gnome shell?

[Matthew Miller]

Under Gnome in Fedora 18, returning from full screen in Squeak (including in
the Scratch RPM I'm working on) results in an all-black nonresponsive
window. Doesn't happen in fallback mode or in Xfce (even with compositing
enabled). https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=906425

How do I go about finding what's to blame and fixing it?

Is this an override redirect window? Or how does it fullscreen itself?
If it is the former does Alt-f2 "lg" and then

 Meta.disable_unredirect_for_screen(global.screen);

make it work?

Please file a bug upstream (with instructions to reproduce) and I will
take a look.

Well mutter not gnome-shell but lets move this discussion to the bug.
