I wanted to post a follow-up. I've determined that the 2~3x/day crash
was caused by my Samsung 840 Pro SSD. I've posted my findings to the
fedora-devel mailing list.

Maybe this will help save someone the frustrations I've enjoyed this
past week. >_>

Hi all,
I had F17 and updated it last week to F18. It was perfectly stable
and I had no problems with Gnome.
I did a fresh install of F18 (fresh drive) on Sunday and since then
Gnome 3 has locked up hard on me six times (three times just today).
Each time, I can ctrl+alt+f2 into a terminal and I've tried restarting
various things without successfully recovering.
If I run 'init 3' -> 'init 5', Gnome restarts and the system is
usable again. It seems to happen randomly, though it generally happens
when I am flipping between windows with alt+tab or alt+tilde. That said,
it just crashed on me when I tried to unlock the screen after being gone
for about an hour.
This time, I checked syslog and these were the last messages before
the lock up;

===========
This time I tried restarting dbus.service and it closed and,
eventually, restarted Gnome.
This is getting to the point where I can't really be productive with
my laptop. Whenever it hangs, I lose anything not yet saved as gnome
becomes totally unresponsive. I am not sure what I would open a ticket
on even.
Any help would be appreciated.
