Title:
  User switch kills first session

Status in “gnome-screensaver” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-screensaver

  Running Ubuntu Lucid, I have seen several times that switching users from a screensaver-unlock dialog kills the original users session. The new session runs on VT8, but VT7 is black and contains a few lines from the last init/upstart scripts
  like "Starting foobar..." If I log out of what ought to be the second session, I get a new gdm login prompt.

  I found nothing in syslog, and have no further idea where to look. The
  bug is not exactly reproducible, making it a little bit difficult to
  track down.

  I have not (yet) seen it when switching users via the panel applet.
