To all who are seeing this bug occur, please see if you can narrow down the conditions that seem to lead to this condition. I know it seems totally random, but this type of bug typically is triggered by _something_ - although it may not be at all obvious.

When it happens, note what you had been doing the 5-10 minutes previously. And think about the state of the system, loads it might have been running, etc.

The reason being able to reproduce it at will is important is so we can have you try varying different things to see if it makes the bug go away (or occur more), which can help in narrowing down where exactly the bug is.

Also, I browsed through all the provided logs but saw no error messages. It's likely no errors are written at all anywhere, but sometimes you may find something in ~/.xsession-errors, the gsd logs, /var/log/*, etc. If anyone spots anything that looks relevant from any of these places please post here.
