I've attached my .crash file updated with a symbolic stack trace (as per
the above guide).

I've found that I was able to replicate the error by following these steps:
Download and install a copy of Ubuntu Gnome 16.04.2 in VirtualBox.
Open a screen displaying App icons in a menu, such as the app grid in the Gnome 
Shell overlay or the Arc Menu Gnome Shell extension 
(https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1228/arc-menu/).
Install all the latest software updates from the Software Updater or Synaptic.
Upgrading all the packages between 16.04.2 to 16.04.3 seems to over-load Gnome 
Shell and cause the crash in the middle of the installation process.

The crash always seems to occur after opening a screen with app icons
and I'm not sure why. I hope this info and my attachment proves helpful
in fixing the issue.

Thanks in advance!
