Frozen screen

[Patrick Dupre]

Hello,

Every time that I have an USB key plugged inside my computer, if it switches
to screensaver mode, I lost the access to the graphics session.
gnome3 on fedora18

The only way that I found to recover is to open a text session and to kill the
graphic session.

Thank for your help.

Hi:
That's odd.
Anything interesting in
/var/log/messages
or
/var/log/Xorg.0.log
?

Also check ~/.xsession-errors before nuking the session.  Or, if you 
forget, when you log in it will be moved to ~/.xsession-errors.old to 
give you a second chance to grovel it.
