Bug#684348: gnome sometimes hangs during logon

[jaakov jaakov]

Package: gnome
Version: 1:3.0+9
Severity: important

Reproduce:
1. Log onto the graphical interface by choosing your login, typing in your password and pressing Enter.
2. Sometimes gnome hangs shortly after pressing Enter (see the attached pictures from two different hangs). The mouse pointer follows physical mouse movements, clicking on anything has no effect, the Windows key on the keyboard has no effect. You can switch to console (Ctrl+Alt+F1) and, e.g., log in there and kill gnome from there.
