You'd need to press enter with Onboard to reproduce this. When enter is 
clicked, Onboard fakes pressing enter down, then gets killed before it can send 
the key-release. X thinks the key is still pressed down, key repeat sets it and 
everything is spammed with n enter presses per second, wreaking all kinds of 
havoc on the desktop. The effect is the same as if you forever held down the 
enter key on you physical keyboard. 
It might not always be reproducible, though. If the greeter takes just long 
enough to kill Onboard everything may be fine. I've seen it happen on Quantal 
not long ago though.
Thanks for looking at those bug reports btw. :)
