The problem is related to suspend-to-ram. It occurs after the laptop wakes up and the problem is 100% reproducible.
Other symptoms are:
Network is down and the NetworkManager says all network interfaces are unmanaged.
I cannot change to root. The command su shows no reaction.
Changing to another terminal (TTY2...) only gives an empty black screen without prompt.

The bug allows to bypass the screen lock without password.

In my case the bug occurs every time I used suspend-to-ram. The lock screen is unresponsive and after a while it continues straight to the running gnome session without password. The gnome session is buggy and not everything works but it allows access of data and programmes.

Installed PostInstaller on 14/10 in order to add Netflix-Desktop, XBMC and a few other modules. Shortly afterwards, Fedora began crashing whenever I tried to use the search box, and now it crashes when using the Activities tab.

yum removed PostInstaller hoping it was a faulty extension, but the issue persists.

Clicking (in gnome-shell) on "Activities > Show Applications > All" causes gnome-shell to crash every time.

I found that the issue was caused by the installation of the new gtk3 package - 3.8.5-1.fc19.x86_64. Once I downgraded back to gtk3-3.8.4-1.fc19.x86_64, the crashes stop.

After upgrading my system (via "Software Upgrade") and after rebooting, gnome is unusable as moments after logging in gnome-shell crashes. Gnome-shell worked fine before the upgrade.

I should add that for me I don't even need to go to "Activities": gnome shell always crashes a few seconds after login, even if I do nothing.

But downgrading gtk3 as mentioned above has fixed the issue for now. Thanks starfall.

Opened a new gtk3 bug for this -

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1020073

--- Additional comment from johnh on 20131018T23:10:42 ---

can severity of this be marked "high"?  (I cannot change severity, AFAIK.)

For me, the shell crashes consistently when trying to do [Windows-Key] and typing a command to run.  Without that capability, the shell is...ahem... not very useful.

Also, I can confirm rolling back gtk3-3.8.4 is a work-around.  (So I guess this is really a gtk3 bug that gnome-shell happens to trigger.)

gnome-shell crashes for me are fixed with the current update gtk3-3.8.6-1.fc19.x86_64

I went to Gnome Shell Overview mode and started typing "virtual". In the middle (I don't know exactly which character), gnome shell crashes. It happens always, and is probably caused by some entries it tries to show.
