Hi,
please unblock package gnome-shell in order to fix lockups that seem
frequent for some users.
gnome-shell (3.4.2-4) unstable; urgency=low
* 30_lockup_gc.patch: backported from 3.6. Remove a forced garbage
collection which triggers deadlocks. Closes: #683880.
unblock gnome-shell/3.4.2-4
Thanks,

Subject: global: don't run a garbage collection on tweeners end
This currently causes the shell to freeze very often in a thread
deadlock, and the gjs garbage collector behavior is currently getting
fixed at the right level in gjs itself.
