I reproduce the issue by following the "fd leak" lead with the following test case:

1. Open 2 apps
2. Switch from the app scope to app1
3. Switch from app1 to the app scope
4. Switch from the app scope to app2
5 lock the screen (optional but it leaks even more fd)

At the same time monitor the number of file descriptors used by unity8:
$ watch -n1 "ls /proc/$(pidof unity8)/fdinfo/| wc -l "

After a while unity8 runs out of fd and the system hangs. Eventually unity8 will restart a moment later.
