The problem I'm having is that after logging into GNOME Shell 3.4.1 on Ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS.
After a short period of time (approx 0-2 minutes) gnome shell becomes unresponsive.
Hovering on the corner / clicking on activities button doesn't do anything,
Windows get stuck (the application is responding but the gnome is not)
Also the Alt + F2 doesn't do anything.
The only way I know how to resolve this issue is to go to linux shell by pressing
Ctrl + Alt + any from F1 to F6, login and restart the lightdm service.
sudo service lightdm restart
So the question is How to solve the Gnome 3 hang after logon problem?
