Title:
  whole system bacame unresponsive

Status in Unity:
  Expired
Status in unity package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  At the time this happened I had Google Chrome open and I took a
  screenshot with the Take Screenshot app.

  Suddenly the whole system became unresponsive. The mouse cursor would get stuck every once in a while; I couldn't click and drag to unmaximize the current window. Alt+tab did nothing. The launcher wouldn't show up when moving the mouse to the left of the screen. After hitting Ctrl+Alt+D (show desktop) several times unsuccesfully, at the end the desktop partially showed up, with pieces of windows and garbage all over. The system dropdown menu on the upper-right corner wouldn't show up. The whole system was stalled. CPU consumption seemed to be pretty high but not 100% (I guess from the noise of the fan)
  I had to force a hardware power off.

  After a fresh boot, as soon as I tried to open Google Chrome, this
  seemed to happen again, but this time the system recovered from this
  state by itself. Actually I switched to a virtual terminal with
  Ctlr+Alt+F1 (because I couldn't open a terminal window in any way) but
  I only logged in and ran "top" without figuring out anything useful.
  Then I switched back to the normal screen with Ctrl+Alt+F7 and
  everything was working normally this time.
