Saw the same problem with Gnome Shell on my wife's desktop. It had been
working fine for a couple of weeks, then started in with this. In our
case, rebooting would fix it, but it would often occur after hibernate
or suspend, and once started, a log out or reboot was required to fix
it. Eventually we just switched her to Xfce to get around the problem,
since hibernate/suspend was deemed more important than having the latest
and greatest desktop environment [sic], but I will be interested to
hear if there are any real solutions.

I currently have this same issue on a laptop I use for work running
F16/KDE4, so perhaps this has something to do with graphics drivers (shot
in the dark). Do you happen to be running Intel graphics?
Sometimes suspend/resume works without issues, other it just completely
takes a dump and I can only reboot to resolve the issue -- I can't even
ctrl+alt+F2-12 to get to another console so that I could troubleshoot via
CLI -__-. One thing about this is that at work I connect to a docking
station with which I have 2 1080p monitors connected. I'll suspend when I
leave work, then resume when I come home -- obviously without the 2 large
monitors -- and SOMETIMES (perhaps once every other day) end up with the
situation you both described.
Very annoying, to say the least.
