Here is a very interesting series of steps that will reproduce this
issue every time.

Boot the computer.
At the GDM login screen, prior to logging in...
Press Function + Left Arrow and Function + Right Arrow a couple of times.
Notice that there is a screen overlay that shows the brightness level in the upper right corner (LCD brightness is mapped to my FN + Arrows)
At this point I can still use the mouse and keystrokes are still being registered.
Log into the system by selecting a user account and entering a password.
You will begin to see the desktop load, accompanied by a login sound.
The cursor changes to a waiting icon.
At this point, the system ceases to be responsive any further, according to the description provided above.
The mouse will still move the wait cursor around the screen. Keystrokes other than Ctrl + Alt + F# are not recognized.

Based upon this series of events, it is possible the bug truly lies in
another part of the system. I can't select anything more appropriate on
my own, so help me out here.
