Comment 3 for bug 1292209

It happened again now (up-to-date 14.04 LTS now): screen started to fade out after pressing CTRL-ALT-L, then it stuck in the middle of process, I can move the mouse, but I can't do anything neither with mouse or keyboard. What helped: switching to text console (CTRL-ALT-F1) login, then killing gnome-terminal. After that, I can switch back to X.org (ALT-F7) and I see the unlock screen now. However of course this is not an ideal solution, and I lost all of my (tons of ...) gnome-terminal windows. Again: it seems it happens sometimes, if I press CTRL-ALT-L when I have a fullscreen (not maximized, but full screen) gnome-terminal on the current workspace.
