Description:
some times gnome 3.6 lock screen goes crazy, so it can't unlock user desktop, and sometimes it's stop handling escape hotkey to show login unlock prompt

Additional info:
It's very difficult to reproduce a problem with above states specially, because it's appears randomly after sleep
But I found a synthetic keyboard and mouse cobinantion I can make lock screen unworkable


Steps to reproduce:
1. Lock the screen
2. Left mousedown on screen bottom and move on near the screen top to unlock way, but do not release mouse
3. Press ESC key simulately and wait for a lock screen appears. _continue hold the mouse at this step_
4. Contimue to move mouse on screen top
5. You'll get gray screen without any prompt and key handling ;)
This task depends upon

I have been installing arch on sever old (i686) laptops and in the last few days I began having a similar problem. Install GDM and login works fine. Then install gnome-shell and I only get a blue screen that doesn't respond to anything except transfering to a different tty and rebooting. I'm running xfce4 just so you know.
