Arc Gnome-Shell Theme + Gnomenu + Virtualbox w/o 3D Accleration = Segfault #377

Thanks again for a good theme.

I ran into a strange problem when testing Ubuntu 16.04 with Gnome-Shell in Virtualbox: when using Arc-Dark as the Gnome-Shell theme (via the user-theme extension) and also using Gnomenu, it will crash the entire shell. Running "gnome-shell --replace" from a terminal only gives "Segmentation Fault" but no other messages. Using the default "Adwaita" theme with everything else the same works fine with no problems.

I then saw a message about the Vertex Theme getting a fix last year for "non-accelerated systems". This had me remember I had not enabled 3D in my VBox settings. After enabling 3D acceleration in VirtualBox, there is no longer any crash. So the only problem is when using Arc and NOT enabling 3D Acceleration. It is my guess that Gnomenu just "pushed it" too much?

Anyway, is there any fix from Vertex before that is applicable to Arc? I may do more testing to see if it is transparency that is causing the issue (I can re-build w/o transparency to compare the results when not using 3D acceleration).

Hmm yeah, that issue seems to pop up randomly but i thought i fixed it. The transparency option only affects the gtk theme, so that shouldn't be the cause. Did you install the latest version from github?

Thanks for the reply. This was version 1446313524.8542d2c ("fairly recent": I think I pulled it from 24 Dec?) built with the "--with-gnome=3.18" flag. The panel is transparent, is there no way to disable the gnome-shell transparency (not certain it is the problem but it seems somewhere in there)?
