After running GNOME 3.28 for a while, I’ve had several crashes. It used to crash whenever I opened a URL from Emacs, but fiddling with dconf has fixed that. It currently crashes every time I run ERC (I’ve turned on notifications there), and I can’t seem to fix it. Interestingly, there is a discussion about this on the Arch Linux forums . I’m not sure if there’s anything useful for us in there, though. I did get a backtrace of the crash.
