I am having a similar problem with 11.10 and user switching. I seem to
be missing the switch user menu option which is sorely missed, but if I
lock the screen and then switch users and try logging in as another user
after entering the password it does not start a session and I end up
having to Ctrl-Alt-F2 and rebooting the system using command line.

Title:
  Cannot log back in after switching user account

Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  If I click 'Switch User Account...' in Unity's menu at the top of the
  screen, I am taken to the LightDM login screen. When I type in my
  password and press Enter, instead of returning me to my Unity session,
  the password text field on the login screen disappears. Nothing I can
  type or click will return me to my Unity session.

  If I press Ctrl+Alt+F8 I am taken to the 'Lock Screen' password prompt
  and can log back in to my session, but after doing this my network
  connection is inactive, and my only option is to reboot to restore it.
