It appears that the following is better than a reboot: 1. Press Ctrl+Alt+F3 2. Log in 3. Run `killall gnome-screenshot` 4. Press Ctrl+Alt+F7 (or Ctrl+Alt+F2 if that doesn't get you back to the GUI)

What happened instead ======================= The flashbulb graphics effect went to black and stopped there, leaving the GUI unusable and forcing me to reboot to get things back to normal. This didn't happen before my upgrade today from a 4.10 kernel to a 4.13 kernel (specifically 4.13.0-26.29~16.04.2), so that may be related.
