Growing frustration with Gnome Shell

I've been using Gnome Shell since the alphas of F15 and I keep hoping
that a few things get fixed.  I don't know if they're general problems
or widespread. I've make a point of putting things in Bugzilla.  But, my
problems are not going away.

Big problems:

1.  Pressing ALT-TAB crashes the shell.
2.  Once the screen blanking has been in effect for more than 2 hours
(or so) I have to use SSH to kill the shell in order to regain access to
the system.

With each yum update, I hope to see the problems fixed. So far, no progress.

Because Gnome Shell is the future of Fedora, I intend to keep trying to
use it. But it's really got to get better, and soon.
