Comment 127 for bug 128803

I have this problem too, but not just with GNOME. In GNOME, the panels don't load sometimes and alt+f2 doesn't work. I use Compiz so if I hit super+t to get a terminal, the GTK parts of the terminal never load (and then it goes black because it's non-responsive and Compiz knows it). If I then log out and login with Enlightenment, Enlightenment also fails to work right. Starting anything in Enlightenment, I get the top bar of the window glowing red, which is equivalent to Compiz dimming non-responsive apps. I have to reboot to get a GDM session that will let me login to anything and actually works.
