I had the exact same experience. my wife and I switch a lot. I changed from nouveau to nvidia and my problem _mostly_ went away. Its only happened to me once since, so I assumed that was the problem/fix. Unfortunately, I've trained the wife on the ctrl+alt+bksp so now I don't know how often she has the issue.
Release: I had the issue on f16 (I skipped 15, so can not speak to that)
