Hi,

It might look like you can reproduce like this:

1) Boot computer into GDM / slim.
2) Wait more than 15 seconds.
3) Keyboard appears frozen.
4) Press ALT+F9
5) Keyboard works again.

If waiting less than 15 seconds everything is fine. Might be related to 
"vw_proc_dead_timer" in VT. I'll debug more tomorrow. Seems trivial.
