Bug Description

Computer was suspended on battery power. Plug in AC, Ethernet, then resume from suspension. gnome-shell freezes for a while, and then works as usual.
Plug in 2 USB hubs. gnome-shell freezes for a while, then crashes.
(If I also plug in a monitor using HDMI->DVI adapter usually both screens go blank after 5 seconds, though programs are still running.)

Might be a duplicate of expired bug #871250.
Probably not a security issue.
