[SOLVED]Choppy video with gnome-shell

Hi everyone, I've got an annoying problem on my laptop. Every video that I play has a little stop regulary every 2-3 seconds. A little lost of frame maybe. I noticed the problem is present only using gnome shell, with the gnome fallback everything works good instead. I've got a laptop with nvidia optimus so I use intel driver and I have no xorg.conf file because x detects intel driver by itself. The problem presents also using nvidia GPU (with bumblebee). I have vsync activated and the FPS in glxgears are ~60.

What could be the problem?

Try adding: CLUTTER_PAINT=disable-clipped-redraws:disable-culling

to: /etc/environment
