I don't think it's closed, so I'd like to add that this happens in 24.04
too and in /var/log/syslog there's a message: "indicator-sessi[3021]:
my_switch_to_username: assertion 'p->dm_seat != NULL' failed".

Title:
  Support GDM for switching users

Status in Session Menu:
  Triaged
Status in indicator-session package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  When I choose to switch users from the the menu item with my name in it, under unity, with GDM installed (NOT lightDM) latest 12.04 update, the screen goes dark and locks under my original account. Instead, it should prompt me to log in as the other user.
  I've tried rebooting, and the problem is repeatable.

  Problem doesn't exist when LightDM is default.
