I'm so normal shell crashes gnome, I can only move the mouse and I can not do anything else. I have to resort to the blackout. Then turn on your computer appears to me that my system has a fault and apparently is in the xorg file.

Try re-installing the Gnome shell. Boot into a Unity session and run sudo apt-get purge gnome-shell
. Beware that this also removes the Gnome tweak tool if you have that installed. Re-install the shell and everything should be back to working order.
It happened to me also just when I've entered the keyboard settings and added a second keyboard layout. I haven't seen error messages on any virtual desktop. I have a radeon hd 3450 video card, with gallium3d driver (amd discontinued support for my card in linux).
