It happened to me a handful of times in the last weeks that I have
(approximately) firefox, gnome-terminal, and amarok running, I leave the
computer for a while so the screensaver starts ... then I come back, move the
mouse, and I see the desktop wallpaper but nothing else! (Not even the icons on
it.) The screen is completely frozen, I cannot enter anything, not even key
combinations like CTRL-ALT-F1 or CTRL-ALT-REMOVE. Nothing works, completely
frozen. But funny enough, amarok is still playing music!
The only way to get out of it for me was to press the "Quit" button for 5 sec
and cut off power.
I don't really know what's going on there, couldn't do anything so I
couldn't check the system monitor either. But since music was still
playing normally I think that Xorg was still working, just unresponsive.
Maybe it's a screensaver bug since it always happens when I recover from
screensaver. Anyway, I would be interested if other people have
experienced the same, it's a pretty nasty bug because you have to cut
off power to get back on.
