I did the following steps:

1. I clicked on "Activities".

2. I clicked on the icon "Show applications" on the toolbar that appeared on the left. The gnome shells shows the list of recently used apps.

3. I clicked on the button "All" at the bottom.

The shells crashed and restarted automatically.

It tried the downgrade to gnome-shell 3.8.3. That behaves in the same way.
Comment 14 Jens Timmerman 2013-10-21 16:17:27 UTC 
Happened to me when pressing the meta key, and typing "ge"

The gedit logo appears (but sometimes not, it can show gedit without a logo, depending on how fast I type) and then gnome-shell crashes.

I can still reproduce this.

I'm getting the same issues, including whenever I press the meta key. Ironically it's working fine when I log in as root through the session manager at the login screen.
Comment 16 Brian Monroe 2013-10-22 03:24:07 UTC 
I've since created a new user and the bug is not present in the new settings at this point.
Comment 17 Thomas Neuber 2013-10-22 15:00:32 UTC 
I tried both alternatives from comment #15 and comment #16. It crashed in both cases.
Comment 18 Thomas Neuber 2013-11-04 19:21:23 UTC 
In the last days the system performance degraded more and more. I was shocked about sys log that grew between 20 and 350 MB per day. There tons of critical clutter messages (see bug #957363).

As a consequence I uninstalled the following packages:
- gnome-classic-session
- gnome-shell-extension-alternate-tab
- gnome-shell-extension-apps-menu
- gnome-shell-extension-common
- gnome-shell-extension-launch-new-instance
- gnome-shell-extension-places-menu
- gnome-shell-extension-window-list

A now I cannot reproduce that issue anymore.
