Comment 44 for bug 892316

I tried again to apply the patch to post here what happened and then I
realized that I didn't overwrote the previous patch file in my computer, so
when I downloaded the new one it worked. It was trying to reapply the same
patch. Sorry, I don't really understand how those things work.

> Bug description:
> I've been using the MGSE media player extension for a while now and
> I've noticed that since I've been using it, I've been running into
> issues where the GNOME Shell stops working correctly. After an
> indeterminate amount of time (it seems to vary) with Banshee running
> while using the extension, I've noticed that the window switcher
> dialog (Alt+Tab) will not leave the screen after it appears, the Shell
> overlay will no longer appear, I cannot switch windows or launch new
> programs, and basically the only thing I can feasibly do is force kill
> the session and log into a new one. I'm fairly certain its the media
> player extension that's causing this to happen, since this problem
> occurs on both Linux Mint 12 and Linux Mint Debian Edition with this
> extension installed and enabled, and disabling the extension causes
> the problem to cease.

> Some further info that may or may not be useful:
> - Both my Mint 12 and LMDE installations are similarly configured,
> running on the same physical hardware.
> - Both OSes have the following list of extensions enabled (aside from the
> media player extension, which I've disabled until further notice; all
> extensions are MGSE packages except the weather indicator extension):
> - noa11y
> - User Themes
> - Alt Tab
> - Weather indicator
> - Shutdown Menu
