Bug#698142: general: gnome locks up (other CLI terminals still OK)

[Richard Atherton <richard@alphea-online.co.uk>]

Package: general
Severity: important


After using Gnome for a few minutes it locks up. i.e. mouse pointer still moves but nothing else works. 
Even the on-screen clock stops.
ctrl-alt-F1 still gets me to CLI which still works normally.
Can then reboot using ctrl-alt-delete but haven't found any other way to get Gnome back.
