This is Debian wheezy with latest update from today.

There is the same behaviour shown as described in the first post.
One exception: this behaviour is shown only immediately after startup of
the computer and login.
I see the "Activities" in the upper-left corner.
But the screen does not respond.
I can switch to the console to do a clean shut-down of the computer.
At the next startup, everything is fine.

If computer is up, the behaviour is not shown during "normal" work.

Only for your information:
I have seen this behaviour only after a reboot of the computer (two
times this week).
If i start the computer normally with the power-button, this behaviour
was not shown.
- Gnome-shell starts normaly after reboot in most cases.
- Gnome-shell starts normaly after normal start with power-button in all
cases (until now).
- Gnome-shell sometimes hangs after reboot.
I don't know, if this information is relevant.

Best regards
Bernhard
