GNOME Shell has been quite stable for me since Ricardo made sure that it was using GDK-PixBuf with SVG support (see commit c5db31d4141669d09c1cd8b37eb270c2fe23c7cf). > It occasionally crashes (SIGSEGV) and is automatically respawned, which > is kinda okay: as a user, you notice that it flickers for a second or > two and then it comes back. > > The thing that=E2=80=99s really bad is that clicking on the eject icon of= a > removal storage device in Files leads to a gnome-shell crash that=E2=80= =99s > unrecoverable (=E2=80=9Crespawning too quickly=E2=80=9D), followed by the= laptop > entering suspend-to-RAM without prior notice (!): I did experience this when it was crashing frequently. Since Icecat sends a notification (which used to crash GNOME Shell) every time you open a link from Emacs, I would always have to ask myself, =E2=80=9Cis what= ever is on the other end of this link really worth my computer immediately suspending?=E2=80=9D > [...] > > Is anybody experiencing this? Ideas? Thoughts? Sympathy? :-) Like I said, it=E2=80=99s working well for me now, but I did end up clearing most of my GNOME-related configuration and state during the upgrade. One quick thing to check is whether the SVG support is actually working for you. Ricardo=E2=80=99s commit also fixed a bug where the little close = (=E2=80=9CX=E2=80=9D) icons in the top-right corner didn=E2=80=99t show up when you hover on the windows in the =E2=80=9CActivities=E2=80=9D screen. The arrows to switch t= he month in the calendar were invisible, too. And yes, lots of sympathy! :) -- Tim
