Gnome shell exits with an assertion failure "randomly". Research leads me to believe the error originates in mutter. Excerpt from journalctl: Mar 29 21:08:00 saga.alfsgard.dk gnome-shell[1538]: ** Mar 29 21:08:00 saga.alfsgard.dk gnome-shell[1538]: Clutter:ERROR:../mutter-42.0/clutter/clutter/clutter-actor.c:1275:clutter_actor_set_mapped: assertion failed: (!CLUTTER_ACTOR_IS_MAPPED (self)) Mar 29 21:08:00 saga.alfsgard.dk gnome-shell[1538]: Bail out!
