Subject: gnome-shell desktop freezes sometimes in F17
Hi,

there are 2 situations where my gnome3 desktop sometimes freezes:

Over the last two days, I have noticed that my entire computer will freeze
up, and I have to do a hard shut-down for it to work again!

It really makes me angry!  I make random saves of my work when I am working
on my computer, but it still seems to catch me before I am done...

I have not been able to determine when or what might be doing to trigger
it...

Sincerely yours,
Rob G. Healey


1. during opening the favourites bar (move the mouse pointer to top-left)
2. during a "yum update" inside a gnome-terminal (very weird)

Sometimes I have to wait for a lot of seconds until the freezing
finishes, but in most cases I have to go to a tty window and  "pkill
-HUP gnome-shell".

My video chip:

VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 82945G/GZ Integrated
Graphics Controller (rev 02)

Anybody made similar experiences?
