Public bug reported:
Using the qemu vga display under gnome is reliably causing gnome to
crash on my laptop. I've seen this when using libvirt and also when
invoking qemu from the command line. I've tried several display options
for qemu:
-vga qxl
-vga virtio
-display gtk
All result in the crash. No crash report is appearing in /var/crash
after this happens, but I checked dmesg the last time and found this:
[15078.446564] gnome-shell[10327]: segfault at 8 ip 00007f4c53c794af sp
00007ffd7eb03e90 error 4 in libmutter-cogl-1.so[7f4c53c14000+a5000]
The crash usually doesn't happen right away. Sometimes it happens a few
seconds after the display is opened, other times it's happened when I've
moved to another window and then select the qemu display using Alt-Tab.
