Subject: Re: PROBLEM: i915 causes complete desktop freezes in 4.15-rc5

Attached. Crashed quite a bit faster than before this time.

It always seems to have something to do with opening and alt-tabbing
between windows. This time what produced the crash was an attempt to
open a new terminal.

The hanging happened right after issuing the keyboard shortcut, before
the focus had time to switch to the newly-opened terminal window.

Still unable to crash it reliably though, so there's no telling how
promptly I can produce these.
