GNOME 3.20 crashes with NVIDIA propriety driver

[Tal Liron]

I think the issue is this bug that has been patched:

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=764898

https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-shell/commit/?id=5226d8b0864fa894f180b8584e837aaf565578b2

Is it possible for someone to rebuild and push to the PPA with this
patch? It would affect a lot of NVIDIA proprietary driver users!
