Hello anybody. Yes a has same issue too - it happens because an of running application was hung up. System detect it and show pop - up message in the middle of screen about waiting or force closing hung application. More often it happens during debugging an application, when break point was raised and debugger waiting user action so system count this application as hang. Some times it happens so system detect hung application but some reason can't show popup message over hang application. It looks so like wrote on first post - blocking mouse input at any windows except application bar and gnome dashboard. In some application keyboard become locked too, for exaple in Eclipse. Usually i switch to each application and try to interact with it by keyboard typing. If i suspect application hang, i run or switch to gnome-terminal and use command top to detect process id of hang application. Then i found it i use
 sudo kill <app ID>
As is hang application was closed - normal mouse input will restored.

But main question conclude to how to change reaction of system on hanged application - turn off annoing modal dialog. This dialog so bore me a lot. Each time when break point occur during debug process, Unubtu pop up this modal dialog and lock all mouse input in other apps, include debugger too. I need to switch debugging app and press "Wait" in this popup message, some times it need to do more than once. Then I return to debugger continue work.

Some one know how to turn off ubuntu hang application detection?
