gnome shell segfault in 23.10 after starting video playback

[Yakov]

Any hardware accelerated playback of video files causes shell to crash back into gdm

Crashes are happening in telegram-desktop (Flatpak) built-in video player, and Clapper (deb), but not happening in Firefox on wayland (Flatpak)

no freezes after updating to current gnome-session as of 19.09.2023

Yakov, I'm moving this to the gnome-session package and changing the status to 'Fix released' as you've not made any comment for a month now so presumably your problem has been fixed by an update.

Please feel free to comment further and re-open this bug report if the issues that you initially reported reappear in your Ubuntu installation.
