I can trigger the bug with docky anytime I want. Just move quickly through Docky icons with the mouse cursor (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/docky/+bug/1451379). I a few seconds the screen will freeze. Most of the times I have to wait for about 30 seconds. I can switch to text (Alt + Ctrl + F1) in the meantime and see that gnome-shell occupies the computer 100%. Nouveau driver writes lots of lines into syslog at the same time. But sometimes everything freezes and only hard reset helps.
