My system just had the same partial freeze -- apps still running but mouse and keyboard largely ineffective. It happened when I clicked on Clementine while a song was playing. I was able to get gnome working again with DISPLAY=":0.0" gnome-shell --replace It had failed with an error that indicated --replace hadn't been used, so I added it.
30 minutes ago I disabled the mgse-mediaplayer in Advanced Settings and replaced the menu extension with the extension.js provided above. Is there anything else I need to do to get those changes to be effective? Or are they just not working for me? Other than Clementine, I had firefox, gnome-terminal and eclipse-CDT running, and hadn't used the menu in a while.
