I believe I have encountered this bug too - my system seemingly hung,
but the mouse still responded.

I logged into a new shell using Alt-F2 and saw that the "compiz" process
was running at around 100% CPU usage.

I didn't really know what to do next, so I took a chance and tried
sending a "kill -9" message to the compiz process, and to my joy when I
tabbed back to my desktop using Alt-F7 it had all come back to life
again (and compiz seemed to have restarted too).

Incidentally, this is the first time the hang's happened to me, and it
happened whilst I was using Shotwell and dragging a photo into a new
event.

System info:
11.04 (natty)
Linux 2.6.38-8-generic
GNOME 2.32.1

Will the above patch be making it into an official package at any point?
