OK, so this bug is now a security issue, seeing as I just typed my
system password in an IRC chat window.  When this bug just happened to
me, I dropped to TTY1, logged in, did sudo service lightdm restart,
typed password again, and when I got back into my session, it turns out
since I had quassel foregrounded it ALSO put my username and passwords
there.  THIS BUG NEEDS TO BE FIXED NOW!!!!!

Bug description:
  I'm using a freshly installed Ubuntu 13.10. As soon as I click on a
  different user I want to switch to in the gearbox menu I get a black
  screen and nothing else is happening. I'm still able to SSH to that
  box and top does not show any process taking 100% CPU. Alt+sysrq+b is
  able to reboot the system. I had no problem like this with Ubuntu
  13.04 on the same computer.

  WORKAROUND: Disable the nvidia card in the BIOS.
