Bug Description

All things are locked but the mouse pointer. Typing keys with no response. The state of being locked kept for a bout 2 mins. After that the system recovers to normal state.

Before locking, I am editing a file in /usr/share/applications with emacs. After I typed Ctrl+S for saving the file, things are locked.
