Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

After the 2nd invocation of the "switch user" applet in order to switch
back to the original user,  the screen goes blank and no login prompt
appears.  I can login to the machine remotely, which shows X is running
at 100% CPU usage. Restarting GDM fails to restart X. The only way I've
found to proceed is to forceably kill (ie kill -9) the X process at
which point the GDM login screen reappears.  This is ubuntu 10.04 (which
was just upgraded from 9.10).
