This morning I'm having troubles with i3:

can't open a terminal window with $mod+Enter,
can't open start any program with dmenu ($mod+d)
can't close i3 since the exit bar won't show up.

When I try any action the mouse change to a clock for some time.

Some information of my machine that will help:

$ uname -r
3.9.7-1-ARCH
$ X -version
X.Org X Server 1.14.1
...
$ i3 --version
i3 version 4.5.1 ...

The i3 log show

i3 4.5.1 ...

The SHELL environment variable cause this problem. After I set it to /bin/bash i3 back to work.

I had the same problem and after a while I noticed that I haven't got xterm installed. Try installing xterm using your favourite package manager, such as pacman or apt. It helped in my case. Maybe you should also install dmenu to have $mod+d working.
