Bug#675345: Display randomly freezes (but mouse is operational)

Package: gnome-shell
Version: 3.4.2-7
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

    * What led up to the situation?

Logging into a gnome-session, opening a terminal and iceweasel, work 
for a few minutes.

    * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
      ineffective)?

I have no idea what triggered the freeze. It wasn't the first time it 
happened either.

    * What was the outcome of this action?

Shell froze. Mouse pointer can be moved. No element on screen responds 
to clicks. Can change to another terminal through Ctrl+Alt+F1-F6. 
Killing gnome-shell through kill -9 <procno> kills process. Switching 
back through Ctrl+Alt+F7 result in a screen refresh and an unfrozen 
display. Can continue to work in the still open terminal and iceweasel.

 From what I can recall the problem has always occurred when I have had 
iceweasel running (but this uncertain). I'm not sure whether this means 
that iceweasel has something to do with the triggering of the bug. I 
therefore attach an edited lsof at the point of the gnome-shell freeze 
with the hope that it is useful. I also attach output from lspci.

No backtrace from gdb at this point, sorry. The problem has not 
occurred when using KDE (from wheezy) on the same machine. This seems to 
be a duplicate of bug report #675345.
