Basically: The title says it all. No matter what I'm doing, whether it's browsing the Ubuntu forums, reading a webcomic, just listening to music; anytime at all, since switching back to the Open Source video drivers for my ATi HD Radeon 3650 card (proprietary gave me heck), I've been having this problem.
The most recent case: I was browsing through the Ubuntu Forums after marking my latest thread (to do with removing Catalyst drivers and re/installing the default ones) as solved, listening to music through Banshee. All of a sudden, my screen fades to black for about a second or two, then fades back to whatever was on screen beforehand. However, though my cursor moves, nothing responds to it. The music keeps playing, and the cursor changes according to whatever control is under it (eg. a text field or link) but, as I said, nothing happens. No button combination I've tried (incl. Ctrl+Alt+Del, Windows habits never go away) have worked to get it "unstuck".
Note that, as the Prefix states, I'm using GNOME 3, on Ubuntu 11.10 "Oneiric Ocelot".
