Public bug reported:
Sometimes after unlocking the screensaver, Gnome is unusable because no
window can be focused.
Symptoms:
* When a window is clicked, its decoration flashes to focused and then
immediately changes back to unfocused.
* The mouse cursor correctly changes when positioned over e.g. an input field,
but no clicks get through to the application, nor do any keystrokes.
* Global keyboard shortcuts like Meta and Ctrl+Alt+⇩ sporadically work a few
times, but mostly have no effect.
* The Gnome taskbar at the top of the screen accepts clicks and seems to work
fine, but keyboard actions are also blocked.
Killing all applications (which requires logging in via SSH) doesn't
resolve the problem. The entire Gnome session must be killed, then it's
fine the next time until the problem recurs.
