GNOME with gnome-panel was running at the moment Actual results: Xephyr crashed and gnome-shell backtraced. Expected results: Error msg from gnome-shell.
Not going to fix - running in Xephyr is pretty much a developer tool (see comment in bug 518948) and if Xephyr is buggy and segfaults, a developer should be able to figure that out. > F11 host, F12 guest, KVM via virt-manager Unfortunately, this isn't going to work :-( gnome-shell needs accelerated 3D and KVM doesn't provide that.
