No. There no response for either of the keys that you mention. Only dialogs that turn up are - 1. Logout: On CTRL+ALT+DEL and 2. Wifi Password Prompt else nothing. BTW, Just before shutting down the computer I installed the latest google chrome download (from website) and VLC (from yum) and on clicking shut down I got some alert about crash in Nautilis. However, I could not read the details as the system proceeded with shut down process.

Does ALT-F2, then r <enter> do anything? This should reload the Gnome
desktop.
