Package: gnome-shell
Version: 3.2.2.1-3
Severity: normal
Sometimes it's necessary to restart gnome-shell, e.g. currently changing
the window-theme seems to have no effect except on startup.
This can be done by hitting Alt-F2 and then giving the special "r"
command.
However, doing this twice seems to cause gnome-shell to crash: it pops
up the "sad face please turn off some user options and then logout"
screen.
It's easy to reproduce:
In a new gnome-shell session, do:
Alt-F2 r RET
Alt-F2 r RET
(i.e., restart twice)
This reliably causes the sad-face-...-logout screen to appear for me.
Unfortunately, this makes trying out new window themes pretty annoying...
Thanks,
-Miles
