Public bug reported:
Occasionally, gnome shell locks up right after lightdm login. The mouse
moves, but nothing responds to clicks. Keyboard is ignored.
I've found a work-around suitable for technical people only, which is to
Ctrl-Alt-F1, log in, and type pkill -HUP gnome-shell, then log out and
go back with Alt-F7.
At the command prompt, I observed 2 zombie lightdm processes. Not sure
if related. Figured it was a gnome bug because restarting gnome-shell
fixes it.
Having now rolled gnome-shell desktops out in my business to non-
technical users, this is a serious bug: most of them have to do a hard
reset.
