Description:

Sometimes (every 30-60 minutes) I get weird shell freezes. All the elements on the panel stop working, but they become underlined if I click on them. All GTK applications stop working too, but qt (like vlc) apps still work perfect. Alt+F2 (to restart gnome-shell) doesn't work too, so the only one way to get the system working is restarting X. Unfortunately, I can't even make a screenshot of this, just because I can't even start screenshot tool, and predict when the next freeze is going to happen.

Additional info:
* package version(s)
GNOME 3.2.1, no extensions installed.

* config and/or log files etc.

The only config I changed is gnome-shell.css. I changed font to Liberation Sans and it's size from 10.5 to 10pt.
No errors in ./xsession-error.

Sorry for my English, but this bug really doesn't allow me to do my job. I didn't get any answer in any forum.
This task depends upon

We can't really help you without logs.

Now I know that it doesn't happen in F16 with nouveau. So I guess it's an NVIDIA driver problem, and I'll wait for the Kernel 3.1 in Core, because my graphics card is GTX 550 Ti. And by the way, with the GT440 card on this system this didn't ever happen, so if this won't happen in Arch with kernel 3.1 and nouveau, I'll post bug report to nvidia.
