Yes, I am. :(
I've been disabling screen blanking during the session, so I cannot speak to that.
However, if I power-up my rig and walk away -- and the screen blanks before I return -- I have to shell out & restart.

What are all GnomeShell available modes?
Hrm... Now you got me thinking. It's sort of like phonetics.
How does one pronounce the word "the" -- hard or soft?!?!?
- Hard: "the" is spoken as 'thee'
- Soft: "the" is spoken as 'thuh'
Are you asking if 'thee' or 'thuh' mode options change with 'thee' or 'thuh' PPA that you use?
Here's my source...
I *suppose* it depends on how you break down the third "vowel". LoL! :DCode:vindsl@Zuul:~$ apt-cache policy gnome-shell

Maybe I'll disable Ricotz Testing PPA, and see if Gnome 3 PPA offers different modes...
You're welcome!
BTW, concerning other issues...
I installed the latest Liquorix Kernel yesterday, to see if it made any diff.
On the screen blanking issue, I should quantify that my display DOES awake from blanking but, it is stuck on the huge 'digital clock screen'. No amount of dancing_on_the_keyboard would get me back to the desktop with the Ubu kernel.Code:vindsl@Zuul:~$ echo && echo -n "Kernel Release: " || cat /etc/*release && uname -s -r && echo
Kernel Release: Linux 3.7.0-10.dmz.2-liquorix-686
vindsl@Zuul:~$
With Liquorix, I'm able to break out of the 'digital clock display' by shelling out, and back in again.
I tried this shelling out workaround several times with Linux 3.9.0-rc2 with no joy. Just saying...
Also, I don't know about you, but I haven't seen the Universal Access icon in the top panel (indicator/notification area) for a while.
The GDM login screen shows the Universal Access icon, in the top-right corner, but it disappears from the desktop, in both GS & Unity sessions.
Is your Universal Access icon still present?
That reminds me (thanks)...
I ran across a similar situation, the other night.
Mem was bring consumed at an alarming rate -- dittos for CPU usage (pegged @ 100%).
Luckily, I was able to do forensics, before everything ground to a halt.
Offending package turned out to be Plank believe_it_or_not. First problem I've had with Plank...
Anyway, I killed Plank. Everything gradually returned to normal. I reloaded Plank, and haven't had a problem since.
Go figure... ;)
