If you can still access via ssh then it can be X what is freezing.
I originally thought this was when I tried to print something, but it
also happened mid way through icedove trying to put up a dialog box to
ask me whether to go to a new folder, when I tried to "go to next unread
message". This makes me think that the print problem is when it tries
to display the dialog box asking me which printer to use.
This is Gnome3.
Is anyone else experiencing this?
I have not experienced such locks in wheezy, but I would try to reproduce
it from a clean user profile or even from a fallback session, to discard
a "gnome-shell" specific problem.
