It sounds like you're describing two different bugs and only the first one is your own so I am going to hide the second one from the description.
** Description changed: When I close a window on the gnome desktop. The desktop often freezes for anything between 30 seconds and a number of minutes. I notice this most often when closing a terminal window with ctrl+d. When look at the syslog and cpu usage (top) from a terminal logged in via ssh I see gnome-shell running at 100% and various gnome-shell error messages being reports. On the longer freezes the display often corrupts and the compositor can take a number of minutes to recover. - - I see that there a number of bug reports with similar problems. - Returning to the computer after a period of activity also can cause a - long delay when wakoen up by a key press (similsr to #1830255)..
