Control: retitle 776911 gnome-shell: Cogl-ERROR **: Failed to create texture 2d due to size/format constraints

Please reply to the bug, not to me personally, so that other
developers can look at the bug log and see all the relevant
information.

This sounds a lot like another instance of
<https://bugs.debian.org/775235> and
<https://bugs.debian.org/770130> on which some debugging has

Probably not necessary now, since the Cogl error was enough to
link this to other bug reports; but for future reference, sending
attachments (with gzip applied if large) to Debian bugs
works fine.
