[Bug 464788] [NEW] Screen jumbled when switching to new user account

 

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

I just created a new user to test the battery status applet, which is
showing wrong information.  When I switch to the new user, the screen is
jumbled: icons are mirrored, fonts are mirrored, new windows are
mirrored or rotated, window header bars ore on the left not the top -
it's a mess.

I can switch back to my usual user and everything goes back to normal.
