Package: gnome-session

Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
Moving my cursor in the top left corner I believe, happened twice
tonight.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
Nothing could be done to get out of this overview and back in regular
compositing mode. I had to log on another tty and systemctl restart gdm3.
* What was the outcome of this action?
The login session rebooted to a working desktop.
* What outcome did you expect instead?
No freeze to begin with.
Please enjoy this poor man's bug report... If you need further
information I'd be happy to help.
BR, Maxime
