Bug#803779: gnome-shell: Screen remains on background for minutes after logging in

[Manuel Bilderbeek]

Package: gnome-shell
Version: 3.18.1-1
Followup-For: Bug #803779

Dear Maintainer,

I did some more experiments and during the background situation, I noticed:
- Pressing Esc directly gives me the normal gnome-shell, but other keys do not
- Pressing Space or Enter gives me a menu with the items "Copy", "Paste" and
  "Show Text". Nothing happens when I click on any of them. But this may reveal
  what's going on... Is this perhaps gdm3 acting up? If you think so, please
  reassing the bug to gdm3, if that helps.
  See this screenshot: http://imgur.com/1xkxnwa
- Just waiting a very long time also seems to abort this stuf and just start
  gnome-shell

I hope this helps...

Kind regards,

Manuel
