Sometimes when I put my computer to sleep or just lock the screen, when I come back and try to log in, I just get the black bar across the top with a lock symbol and my name, and some icons at the right end, and a gray background. I can alt + tab to see my programs' thumbnails, however nothing I do will show the programs themselves. I can interact with the programs - if I ctrl + tab while firefox is open, then alt tab again, the thumbnail of firefox changes to the next page in my tab list.

Any idea why this happens? It's not consistent, and I haven't figured out anything that can 100% reproduce it, but the only thing I can do is restart gdm, which kills all my open programs.
