This happens to me as well. I am on an Ubuntu 13.04 machine. When mine crashes the cursor still moves but there is no way out, I have to reboot with a long button press.

Status in “xorg-server” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: When zooming in kicad, during heavy work periods, sometimes every 10-20 minutes, I am kicked back to gdm login. There is a backtrace in the Xorg log. About 10% of the time, the screen just freezes, still allowing mouse cursor movement (but nothing else). I can still ssh into the box.
