+In case this thread is used as a reference to graphic-driver related
+problems, I'll throw in mine as well:
+
+Besides a corrupted display (unreadable fonts/glitches on screen) that
+occurs after longer uptime and/or when using lots of memory (that also
+was present in Mageia1 / 2d desktop) as described here:
+https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=45092
+
+I also experience problems playing back video in gnome-shell. The
+video is jerky/choppy/jumpy (the opposite of smooth).
+I.e. when there is a pan in the video (camera moves in a smooth
+motion), the video jumps. Instead of playing back the frames as
+*  *  *  *  *  *  *  *  *
+it is more like
+****     * * ***    * *
+
+As with the previous problem, it gets worse the longer the machine is
+running (I didn't find out what exactly makes it worse). As a
+workaround one can restart gnome-shell (<alt>+<F2>, r, <enter>)
+While the problem is minimal after a fresh reboot or after restarting
+gnome-shell, it still occurs. No such problem in gnome-classic, i.e.
+in the 2d version of the desktop. There playback is always smooth, no
+matter how long the uptime was.
+
+Intel 965GM in Fujitsu Siemens Esprimo Mobile U9200
+
+So I agree that something is fishy.
+
+But as long as I can just restart gnome-shell and get adequate
+(although not as-good-as-with-classic-gnome) playback....
