Hi! I've been helping the GNOME Project test patches that fix multiple very common GNOME Shell 40 and 41 crashes, as seen in this pull request:

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-shell/-/merge_requests/2029

The patches fix 1 crash that happens with vanilla GNOME, and multiple crashes that happens with extensions that incorrectly add "OR windows" to GNOME's overview (this is done by extensions such as Pop Shell).

These are severe and very disruptive crashes of the entire GNOME desktop, and the patch fixes all of them. So I suggest that openSUSE applies those patches too, so that users won't have to wait for upcoming GNOME releases.
