Alt+F2 has always been there, also with "old" GNOME. Did you mean to say
that you have never used it before?
No, though that happens to be true: I had read of its existence,
and never used it.
What I was trying to say was that, now that I did use it, it did
nothing. I find in fact that quite a few familiar techniques, such as
left-clicking to get a context menu, or clicking-&-dragging, do nothing
afaict. I even tried Alt-F2 followed by typing blind; but that did
nothing either.
This has reached a point where, after I click a couple of things,
my terminal gets covered up, and the only way I can get back to it is to
hit Ctrl-Alt-Backspace and log in again.
Since, as I confirmed above, I did have session saving enabled
before doing the preupgrade, I'm likely suffering under
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=698184 and
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=647359 .
I don't know for sure how much of what I'm posting results from
one or both of those bugs, and how much might be new.
