gnome-shell issue when ThinkPad T60 connected to dock with extra monitor

[Dave Johansen]

I posted about this issue on the devel list and it was recommended
that I try here. That conversation can be found at:
https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/devel/2013-July/185305.html

Here's a description of the issue:

I have a ThinkPad T60 that I recently upgraded to Fedora 19 from
CentOS 6. With CentOS 6, I could connect to the dock with an extra
monitor connected to the VGA port just fine, but with Fedora 19 it has
issues.

It used to crash when I connected it to the dock with the monitor connected:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=982442

I've updated using yum and now it doesn't crash, but I can't start any
programs. When I click on a program icon to launch it, nothing
happens.

Based on feedback on the devel list, I tried the following:

The keyboard works and I can hit Ctrl-Alt-F2 and then login and run
commands on the console. I also tried creating a new account and it
has the same issue. I also tried pressing the Windows Key and the
Activities Overview doesn't pop up like it's supposed to and the only
thing that I can get to do anything is right clicking on the desktop
and then about a minute later the setting context menu will pop up.

What can I do to help diagnose this issue and hopefully fix it?
