[NoOp <glgxg@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am exeriencing the same issue - with the exception that both the
keyboard and mouse go dead as well. If there is another bug report the
more closely matches my symptions, please advise.

Steps to reproduce:
1. While logged in as user A, System|Log Out <username>|Switch User
2. Login to user B, ensure all is working properly and logout from user B.
- screen goes black
- keyboard no longer works
- mouse no longer works

100% reproduceable.

However, I can:
1. ssh -X into the machine w/o issue. I can bring up gui's from the affected machine (i.e., gnome-system-log, vino-preferences, etc).
2. remote login to the machine via VNC and get a screen; however I then get multiple tserver instances & have to kill it.
3. reboot the machine from the remote ssh.

Attempted to use 'apport-collect 546578' to supply additional info, but
response was that I wasn't a subscriber to this bug (I am) and the
report was a duplicate (it isn't). So I'll manually add the bits that
may be relevant:

can get into the machine to gather information, please let me know if I
can provide any added logs etc.
