Bug Description

gnome-shell crashed in the middle of (un)installing non-free fglrx package using jockey-gtk - when I wanted to open the "Activity" menu in the upper left corner, the Gnome Shell froze for a minute, then crashed and restored.
Previously I had a problem with installing FGLRX with "updates after release" - that never installs properly, even on the stable previous version.
