You have been subscribed to a public bug:
The desktop sometimes locks up completely when logging in. While the
mouse cursor responds and the panel's clock still runs (thus the system
is not totally frozen), nothing responds to mouse events. This includes
the panel and Nautilus. Ctrl+Alt+Backspace does kill the X session, and
it is possible to log in again.
My hypothesis is that some program has opened a window and grabbed the
mouse focus, but that the window is hidden by the Nautilus desktop. In
this case, the window manager should *never* let that happen, as it
completely locks the user out of the system.
The problem appears at random, but only when I am logging in. My
inability to reproduce the problem reliably would suggest that it is a
race condition of some sort triggered by the session startup routine.
