14.04, locked screen to go to lunch, upon return from lunch cat was sitting on keyboard, login screen was frozen & unresponsive.
To replicate: In unity hit ctrl-alt-l, place keyboard on chair. Sit on keyboard.
Resolution: Switched to virtual terminal, restarted lightdm, lost all open windows in X session.
What should have happened: lightdm not becoming unresponsive.
Found the story behind this bug neat, that is why I wanted to share it.
It’s surprising how serious and how old and unresolved that bug and its related bugs are. Only the gnome bug was marked fixed. I’m tempted to see if this is still an issue on modern gnome lock screen…
