This happened to me before and I'm using an Intel GPU. It's rare though; I haven't seen it with the new GNOME 3.16.

It happens for me too and I like it because I can log in with multiple users and easily and rapidly switch between them. I don't know if the proprietary Nvidia driver is better than Nouveau for GNOME usage. It has less features, even though rendering is faster. I don't have problems with it, but I don't remember problems back then when I used Nouveau either. [1] https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Keyboard_shortcuts#Kernel
