No error which I can provide, simply the "oops somthing went wrong" window came up. How do I debug this?

Also tried with a complete black account. Same there
There is no "alternative status indicator" extenstion in portage. Perhaps you mean "alternative status menu" or "monitor status indicator"?
alternative status menu The one with the shutdown menu entry.
> (In reply to comment #0) > How do I debug this? First, check whether the alternative status menu extension really is at fault. See if you still get the crash if you move /usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions/alternative-status-menu@gnome-shell-extensions.gnome.org/ out of /usr/share/gnome-shell. If gnome-shell is segfaulting (which it probably is, judging by the log) probably the easiest way to get the backtrace is using abrt. Emerge app-admin/abrt, /etc/init.d/abrt start, run abrt-cli or abrt-gui, tell it to analyze the crash with gdb to get a backtrace. You will get a file called "backtrace" in /var/spool/abrt/ccpp-*/ or ~/.abrt/spool/ccpp-*/ (depending on what options you choose). Alternatively, you can follow the guide at https://live.gnome.org/GnomeShell/Debugging

I will test that on monday.
I have added a gnome-shell-extensions-3.2.2 ebuild that includes the upstream patches that should fix this crash. Please test. >*gnome-shell-extensions-3.2.2 (11 Dec 2011) > > 11 Dec 2011; Alexandre Rostovtsev <tetromino@gentoo.org> > gnome-shell-extensions-3.2.0-r2.ebuild, +gnome-shell-extensions-3.2.2.ebuild: > Bump to 3.2.2 + latest upstream patches.

Fixed in this version (3.2.2)
