Public bug reported:
I have a laptop with an iGPU and Intel CPU i5-11320H with 16 GB of RAM. My OS
is Ubuntu 24.10 (beta).
According to `gputop`, the gnome-shell eats a lot of video RAM:
```
DRM minor 1
PID MEM RSS render copy video NAME
28304 3G 3G | 0.3% ▏|| 0.0% || 0.0% || 0.0% | gnome-shell
DRM minor 128

42535 343M 343M | 0.0% || 0.0% || 0.0% || 0.0% | chrome
```
Sometimes it can cunsume up to 12G - 14G and the system hungs.
