Public bug reported:
Sometimes (maybe 20% of times) when resuming from suspend-to-RAM, I
cannot start any more programs from within my current desktop session.
This applies to using the menu on gnome-panel, but also when using my
"Start a terminal" keyboard shortcut (metacity's responsibility, I
think). I get a busy mouse pointer, but the program never starts up.
This applies equally to all applications, including the log-off dialog:
to log off I have to use ctrl+alt+backspace.
I can, however, start a program by switching to another VT, logging in,
doing "export DISPLAY=:0.0" and running it from there. Further, if I
start a terminal this way then that terminal's children are fine too.
This is not happening only with GUI applications. If I have gnome-
terminal already open when I resume, then I can't run vim inside it, it
hangs while trying to start. I will attach the output of "strace vim"
from this situation, as an example.
The only workaround I've found so far is to ctrl+alt+backspace and then
log in again, after which everything is fine (but of course I've lost my
session).
