Will do. The trick is likely to run gnome-shell via valgrind and get some logs. I did that last time I had a massive memory leak and I think ebassi or someone managed to fix it... didn't seem like a big error at the time, but turned out to be problematic. It's quite a pain running gnome-shell through valgrind as it really slows things down, but it does provide good data.
