  multiple logins by same user

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gnome-session

  Using an edubuntu server install made from the feisty i386 edubuntu
  dvd 20070418, I absentmindedly logged in twice - once on a thin client
  and once on the server.

  The result was that on the server I was no longer able to log out at
  all. Even logging out on the client and C-A-Backspace-killing the X
  server, and logging in again, produced a session where [Door icon] /
  Logout would hang.

  I was able to rescue my account by deleting all of my dotfiles and
  removing and recreating ~/Desktop.  After that, the system worked
  normally for me again.

  See also bug 67366, which is about the fact that the ltsp setup didn't
  warn me that this was a bad idea.
