sorry .. the problem still remains .. so forget my previous posts :(
It seems a problem of memory: if I switch without any app opened everything go right, but if just open some firefox wins and a openoffice document and then try to switch  get the blank screen ..

I tried to use the User Switcher panel applet, instead of the Indicator Applet Session as suggested here
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/546578
and that seems to work with all desktop effects turned off.

However even in this case if I close all the user sessions through the
User Switcher panel applet the gdm panel is no more shown and  can only
press ctrl+f1 login and write sudo /etc/init.d/gdm restart to get it.
