Title:
  Can not change user session. System freezes

Status in “gdm” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gdm

  The problem is in Ubuntu 10.04 and 10.10. It works in 9.04 (I don't
  know in 9.10)

  Steps:
  1.- Login as user Alice
  2.- I want to login as Bob without closing Alice's session:
     A) Using the "change user" option in the panel.
     B) Pressing Ctrl + Alt + F1
  3.- System freezes. I can't do anything (I tried REISUB, Alt +F4, Ctrl + Alt + Fx). I have to press reboot button.

  
  I have the problem in two different computers with new installations.

  In my nephew's computer I installed 10.10 from CD deleting the old
  9.04 (removing all hiding directories/files from /home/user). In 9.04
  she could change user. The only new software installed is google
  chrome.

  In my personal computer (pentium 4 2.8 Ghz, 1.5 GB Ram, gigabyte ati
  radeon 9250 with defaut ubuntu video driver) when I login after this
  error the .xsession-errors.log is:
