Title:
  Switching users freezes workstation temporarily

Status in “gdm” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gdm

  When using the switch users functionality, the computer is frozen for
  a time after entering the password for the user.  In my case, we
  always have two users logged into the system and switch between them.
  The longer the system is up, the longer the terminal will freeze.
  While frozen the screen is black except for a non-responsive mouse
  cursor.  Keyboard input is apparently ignored, including Ctrl-Alt-Fx,
  where x is a number, Ctrl-Alt-Del and Ctrl-Alt-Bksp.
