It's interesting the upgrade suggestion because I have been getting this issue lately-several times-on f25. I have tried several things, this being the latest:
Kill -9 -1
Don't run this as root though.
P.s. in retrospect I'd try using sigterm on the first try; kill -15 -1

Use top to find the process number of gnome-shell.
kill -1 <pid of gnome-shell>
That will restart it without killing anything actually running.
