Title:
  The allowed limit of flexible X servers reached

Bug description:
  I am using multiple (four) users.  After using GNOME's switch user
  feature with several users running for multiple days, some users
  (usually not all) can no longer return to their session because they
  are returned to the login screen seconds after they enter their
  username and password, ad infinitum.  Restarting the system / X makes
  the problem go away temporarily, but it usually comes back after a few
  days.  I have observed that when this bug occurs, some users have many
  (it takes a long time to dismiss them all) dialog box with the
  following message:

  Cannot start new display
  The allowed limit of flexible X servers reached.

  I am using Ubuntu 7.10 with the NVidia Restricted drivers installed
  through the repository.  This bug occurs with or without the desktop
  effects.  I will try running the system without the NVidia Restricted
  drivers to see if the problem goes away.

  I would appreciate help with this bug, as it can make the system
  nearly unusable.
