Thanks for that.

ssh'd into the test machine:
1204 root      20   0 62816  42m 9028 R 95.5  5.7   1:17.59 Xorg
$ sudo kill -9 1204

Works. As soon as I kill Xorg the gdm login screen pops back up and I
can log back in as the original user.

Again, on my gdm systems:
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% reproducible w/nvidia-96 driver installed. Per your last entry,
I'll try with nouveau as well (removing nvidia-96), but I seem to recall
that I'd tried nouveau previously and all worked... I'll test again.
Thanks again for testing Pat.
