So, as Adam said, you can run the Shell in strace to see what happens, or play with gdb (if you interrupt the Shell using Ctrl+C from gdb, and run 'ba', you will get an idea of where it's currently working). See https://live.gnome.org/GnomeShell/Debugging And please file a bug, that's the best way of debugging this. _______________________________________________ gnome-shell-list mailing list gnome-shell-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-shell-list
