This has been bugging me for some time. Out family of 3 switch users and
it happens randomly for some users while others still work.

The only workaround I got is that I made a dummy user that I always
login on terminal 7. When any in the family gets this problem they hit
CTRL+ALT+F7 to that user lockscreen and use its fast user switch to pick
their own name. Then you get login prompt and can access your session.
Once in the session you get the same problem if you lock the screen so
its just to be able to save your work, close appications and kill the
screem with AltGr+SysRq+k since the logout will show a logout button
that will not work.

Once logged in again though the lock screen is normal for a random
duration of unlocks before the same happens again.

It beats loosing data but a fix would be nice.
