  After updating NVidia driver from version 290.10 to version 295.20
  (from x-updates), Gnome Shell became crushy.  All you have to do to
  crash Gnome Shell is to go to overlay mode (by pressing window key on
  your keyboard or moving your mouse to the top left screen corner) and
  start typing someting (should search/filter the installed
  applications). I also have the Journal gnome-shell plugin installed
  (you get Windows, Applications, Journal tabs in the overlay mode if
  you have it isntalled) and whenever i try to switch to the Journal
  view, Gnome Shell crashes.
