Thanks, didn't look around much just determined that closing the menu didn't cause a loop between nautilus and gnome-shell. Screw up the removal of 3.18.5 or the re-installation of 3.14.4 but had to rebuild the system to recover. Just for my own interest still trying to understand where this loop is occurring so back to gdb on 3.14.4.
