Note: this is probably caused, in my case, by "udevadm trigger" being run in "/var/lib/dpkg/info/open-vm-tools-desktop.postinst configure". This command is run by dpkg during install of open-vm-tools.
Replicated problem as follow :
in a terminal :
1 setxbkmap fr 2 setxkbmap -query -> returns fr layout 3 sudo udevadm trigger 4. setxkbmap -query -> returns us layout (gnome-session layout)
in syslog I can see gdm-x-session updating and the display blinks/freezes for a short period
