Bug Description
Hello,
Since the upgrade to Ubuntu 23.10 with Gnome45, it is no longer possible to restart gnome-shell without crashing the session. The only way not to crash it is to close all applications before restarting gnome-shell. I have verified this too.
This has already been reported upstream: https:/
a tentative patch for mutter proposed: https:/
Please consider reviewing/testing this patch and pushing an update so people can restart gnome-shell session without crashing it.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. It sounds like some part of the system has crashed. To help us find the cause of the crash please follow these steps:
1. Run these commands:
journalctl -b0 > journal.txt
journalctl -b-1 > prevjournal.txt
and attach the resulting text files here.
2. Look in /var/crash for crash files and if found run:
ubuntu-bug YOURFILE.crash
Then tell us the ID of the newly-created bug.
3. If step 2 failed then look at https:/ /errors. ubuntu. com/user/ ID where ID is the content of file /var/lib/ whoopsie/ whoopsie- id on the machine. Do you find any links to recent problems on that page? If so then please send the links to us.
Please take care to avoid attaching .crash files to bugs as we are unable to process them as file attachments. It would also be a security risk for yourself.
