I've also seen this happen on a machine with an NVIDIA GeForce GTS 240
(proprietary drivers) almost immediately after I upgraded from 11.04 to
11.10 and tried switching users a few times.  Installing gdm and using
that instead of lightdm fixed the problem for me.

Title:
  Switching Users Fails

Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Upgraded from Ubuntu 11.04 to 11.10, using Unity, removed gdm and choose lightdm as default.
  Start PC and login into user account using lightdm.
  Using the indicator panel, select to switch users. Presented with lighdm login screen, select user and enter password. Remain at lightdm login screen, unable to enter passwords (textboxes then disappear if I select another user).
  Can use Alt-Ctrl-F7 to return to original GUI session.
  Can use Alt-Ctrl-F1 to set CLI, from there sudo restart lightdm  returned restart: unknown instance.
