Perhaps this is not the same issue (?), but issuing the command: gnome-screensaver-command -l
occassionally leaves me with a black screen - even after numerous mouse clicks / key presses - and the cursor is not visible. When this happens, I am able to log back in by blindly typing my password and pressing <Enter> - just as if the "Lock screen" dialog was visible. Unlike the original post, my attempts to switch to a tty (e.g. Ctrl + Alt + F2) result in the same blank screen (i.e. no prompt for login username)..
