Bug#698142: general: gnome locks up (other CLI terminals still OK)
I can confirm this bug, it has been present for the last few months. You
don't have to restart the computer though, it is sufficient to restart
gdm3 (i.e. sudo /etc/init.d/gdm3 restart). You will lose your currently
running gnome session, but don't need to restart.
Cheers,
Bastian
