.xsession-errors before attempting Alt-F6

Description of problem:
When switching between windows of a single app (default keybinding: Alt+F6), Gnome Shell would immediately crash. The first crash just causes it to respawn; if a second attempt is made within a short time, gnome-session refuses to respawn it and shows the Fail screen with a button to log out.

This only happens after today's update. I verified it on two computers -- after it occurs on the first (ATI Radeon 5650) I checked on a second (Intel Arrandale) that has not been updated; Alt+F6 works there until I updated.

Note: Alt-Tab works perfectly fine. No other visual glitch detected apart from the known crash when switching background wallpaper.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnome-shell-2.91.92-3.fc15.x86_64
gnome-desktop3-2.91.93-1.fc15.x86_64
gnome-session-2.91.93-1.fc15.x86_64


How reproducible:
Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start two windows of, e.g. gnome-terminal
2. Alt-F6
3. Alt-F6 again
  
Actual results:
First Alt-F6 respawns gnome-shell. Second invocation causes gnome-session to refuse to continue spawning

Expected results:
Should cycle between the two terminal windows
