Bug Description
Hi y'all,
Everything works beautifully in mint 12 with gnome 3 until I open banshee and start to listen to music. After a while (say 20 or 30 minutes) the whole gnome shell freezes. It seems to be only the gnome shell, because the program I'm still using, such as terminal, gedit, or any other, keeps working and I notice the problem when I try to do a alt-tab or use the applications menu. When it happens I need to force restart.
I tryied to use rythmbox instead of banshee and change some sound configurations but nothing solved my problem. The only way I found to make things work in my computer (asus M50v without nvidia driver installed because it crashes) is either not to listen to music using a media player but youtube instead, or use MATE so then banshee doesn't cause any problem.
Thanks and if you need more information let me know,
Bernardo
On my system the bug is triggered when I try to use the banshee applet in the top bar after a while of banshee playing music. When I click on the symbol with the musical note it becomes highlighted, as if activated, however the dialog doesn't come up. After that all gnome shell functions cease to work. I can do 'DISPLAY=:0.0 gnome-shell --replace' from another terminal, which makes most of the gnome shell usable again. Some functions (like logging out or shutting down) are without function still
