1) ever since 10.04, gnome-sheel freeze every reason have not been able determine (happens @ different times running different things). after researching (and having little time deal it), found if pressed ctrl-alt-f2 (or other f series me out of gnome) , did killall -9 on gnome-shell gnome-shell autogenerate , i'm in happy land again. presss ctrl-alt-f7 , i'm programming. can deal (though annoying) because don't have reboot , takes little time.

2) since upgrading 10.10, can no longer ctrl-alt-f2 because blank screen (my monitor falls asleep). know still there because if log in (i don't benefit of seeing on screen), killall , ctrl-alt-f7 happy gnome again. problem don't type nor remember if i've logged in , stuck in dialog can't read. need @ least figured out if can't #1 done.
