[Bug 433817] Re: Gnome hang

hit me too.

workaround: switch to terminal (ctrl-shift-f1), log in, execute "killall
gnome-panel", log out (ctrl-d), switch back to x (ctrl-shift-f7 per
default)

this should be reported upstreams

** Description changed:

  I was dragging launchers between nautilus-desktop, gnome-panel and
  gnome-do (Docky mode) when I got the error "Drag and drop is not
  supported. An invalid drag type was used."
  
  I can still move the mouse pointer so it doesn't seem to be a kernel
  panic. I can press "caps lock" and see the "caps lock" light come on, so
  basic I/O is still there.
  
  The system isn't hung exactly, but nautilus-desktop and gnome-panel are
  not responding at all to left, right and middle clicks. Neither is
  gnome-do responding to clicks but it still does the "dock zoom" whenever
  I mouse over it.
  
  The error dialog is still on the screen. I can't get rid of it. I can't
  click the "&OK" button, pressing Alt-O doesn't work either. The mouse
  pointer is stuck in "drag" mode.
  
  I have to restart X in order to make my desktop useable again.
