(Get the code!)
For the many users which have this problem and have been redirected here, there are two workaround solutions (until the fix is released):
Work-around 1): Log off from Gnome -> In the login screen press Ctrl-Alt-Backspace (may not always work)
Work-around 2): Open a console by pressing Ctrl-Alt-F1 (all F keys from 1 to 6 are valid) -> login -> type sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart -> give password -> enjoy your restart.....
If by error you end in the "frozen" situation (for instance if accidentally pressing Ctrl-Alt-Backspace) DO NOT shutdwon the system using the power button! You can gracefully shutdown by pressing Ctrl-Alt-Del or restart gdm by using the same procedure as in 2) above.
