Title:
  named switch user does not allow to return to current user

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: indicator-applet

  I refer to to panel menue where i can choose different actions as
  "guest session", "Log Out..." or "Switch From <user>...". Additional
  users are listed there by their name. If i click on such an entry, a
  new login dialog appears (such like the normal gdm, but this time only
  with the previously selected user). After specifying the correct
  password, the new session for this user starts. If i now choose "Log
  Out..." from the same panel menue, the screen turns just black.

  It is not possible to switch to another tty by pressing CRTL-ALT-Fx.
  The only way to get out of this situation is to power off.

  This problem does not occour if

   1. i choose "Switch From <user>"
   2. select the desired user in the gdm dialog
   3. select "Log Out..."

  Now the password is requested for the previous user.

  System is an Laptop Acer Extensa 5635Z
