[NoOp <glgxg@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Public bug reported:

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. Remote login to the machine using NX w/o issue.
3. reboot the machine from the remote ssh.

Attempts to resolve:

1. Ensured that the problem exists with enhanced graphics turned off (System|Preferences|Appearance|Visual Effects|None) 
2. Ensured that the problem wasn't related to gnome-screensaver as per similar reports (purged gnome-screensaver, installed gnome-screensaver 2.30.0-0ubuntu2 etc).

Workaround:
Remove nvidia-96 and reboot. All switching between users then works properly. Reinstall nvidia-96 and the problem occurs.
