Public bug reported: Clicking the gnome panel lock icon causes the desktop to freeze and stop accepting mouse and keyboard input. Must perform ctrl-alt-f2 and reboot to regain control. Waiting for the power saving timer to expire and lock the screen works as expected. Typing "xdg-screensaver lock" at a shell prompt also works as expected.
The hardware is an Intel NUC6i5SYK.
