I am having a similar problem. While having multiple applications open, usually Firefox, Evolution, and a folder, the Gnome desktop freezes:
Mouse clicks on the navigation bar are unresponsive.
I can use Alt-Tab to switch between windows.
Applications and folders are responsive.
Desktop icons are not responsive.
The desktop chooser and Desktop Icon are not responsive to mouse clicks.

I have a hunch that Boinc may be involved in the problem. I uninstalled Boinc using the software chooser but have seen it still in the list of processes.
