Description:

Since Gnome 3.2, gnome-shell freezes very often when i exit fullscreen games or just after I unlock gnome-screensaver.
But the shell is not realy crashed, when I switch to a VT and then I kill the gnome-shell process, it restart and I can continue to work.

I don't know if it's related, but since the 3.2 update, there are many many lines like this in my Xorg.log :

[ 4192.459] (II) RADEON(0): radeon_dri2_flip_event_handler:981 fevent[0x17e2360] width 1366 pitch 5632 (/4 1408)
[ 4193.043] (II) RADEON(0): radeon_dri2_schedule_flip:619 fevent[0x184a890]

I don't have any crash in fallback mode.

How can I diagnose (and eventually report upstream) this bug ? Is it a Xorg driver bug or a gnome-shell bug ?

Additional info:
* gnome-shell 3.2.0-2
* ATI Mobility Radeon HD5470 with the free radeon driver.
This task depends upon

The bug seems to be solved with installing xf86-video-ati-git from AUR.
