gnome-shell crashes when gimp (or some other programs, like LibreOffice) are opened. The whole shell (except the mouse pointer) and all applets freeze, CPU spikes to 100% (50 from Xorg, 50 from gnome-shell), and the Xserver has to be restarted.

extra/gimp 2.8.0-2
extra/gnome-shell 3.4.1-3 (gnome)
extra/nvidia 295.53-1

Strangely, starting "gimp" works, while "gimp-2.8" makes everything crash.

Dmesg gives a warning like this whenever this happens:
[ 1060.949838] gnome-shell-cal[3861] trap int3 ip:7fe930cc25e1 sp:7fff8958b0e0 error:0

It has something to do with 3D-acceleration: When I enable fallback-mode in the gnome-shell, everything works fine, and no crashes happen anymore when opening gimp or other things!

don't forget to recompile gnome-shell, cogl, clutter with debug symbols and get a better trace.
