(NOTE: the title came up wrong, it should have been: "Gnome-shell freezes for about two minutes after login")
About two weeks ago the following started happening in my F17 installation. After I login, I get the desktop but then gnome-shell freezes for a couple of minutes. I can move the mouse but the desktop is not responsive. If I go to a tty I can see that the gnome-shell process is taking up about 95% of the CPU, and as soon as that the CPU usage falls, the desktop starts responding again. If I log on Cinammon, say, I get no freezes. This may have started happening at a point where I was very low on space in my hard disk, but I'm not sure, and in any case I freed up some space afterwards.
I have also had some annoying crashes/freezes while I work, which didn't use to happen before. I have Intel HD 4000 graphics by the way. I'm not sure which log I could look at to find what may be wrong, haven't found anything so far...
