can you get a backtrace? can you set Enable=true in the [debug] section of /etc/gdm/custom.conf , reboot, reproduce, and then attach the full output of sudo journalctl -b -a ?
Is this something I can enable for a week or two while regularly using the laptop without producing gigabytes of logs? I would really love to just reboot and reproduce it instantly as you suggested, but the bug is too sporadic to do that willingly... (It happens in intervals of daily to every 2-3 weeks) So it would be good if it was possible to run with the suggested option for quite a while until it happens again.
Fedora 22 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-07-19. Fedora 22 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
This seems to be gone with some recent gnome-shell or X11 update (or whatever was responsible), I haven't seen it happening for a long time.
