workrave causes gnome-shell to get stuck

[jmallach]

Describe the bug

GNOME Shell gets stuck as if the Windows key was pressed, and only remedy is to close user session and start it again.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

I haven't been able to figure out what triggers it. Sometimes it triggers when the session is in use, but most of the time I find that after unlocking the laptop after idling, the sessions is corrupt in this way. journal says:

I haven't been able to pinpoint what update caused this either.

Expected behavior

GNOME Shell and workrave are good buddies and don't fight.

I fix this assertion: d’ag. 08 15:59:41 penyagolosa workrave[28079]: g_bus_watch_name_on_connection: assertion 'g_dbus_is_name (name)' failed

Still checking the remainder of the stack trace.

@jmallach I can reproduce this bug! Is it fixed for you?

[rcaelers]

I never managed to reproduce the "gets stuck" part of this report. Does it still happen with more recent versions of Gnome/Workrave?
