I got this when i upgraded to 3.2.0-20, and still have it with 3.2.0-22

gnome-shell and unity wont launch because of this. I also oddly enough, get bad performance with wine since -20

@docaltmed

can you get and link to a crash/backtrace for unity-3d?

can we get a higher priority on this?

this might not be the canonical crash, but this bug breaks all 3D with propritary nvidia driver.

I managed to run nvidia+unity 3D, and while transparency worked it was REALLY slow, and trying to launch "gnome-shell --replace" gives a clutter error. Back to nouveau. The thing is that older version of precise worked with the nvidia driver, so this is a regression withou a very long back time frame.

I think there's a race condition involved in this. On the computer on which I am typing this, we get the bug when my girlfriend logs into GNOME Shell but not when I do. Also, today it got so much worse that it happens on every login for her.

no longer affects: unity
