I can confirm this bug. I am using gutsy, nvidia graphics with
restricted drivers and compiz enabled.
Steps to reproduce:

5. Relogin an user A
The screen goes white and get inresponsive. I click

to A the screen goes white. i can't do anything else then shutting down
the computer via on/off button. using nvidia graphics with restricted

I'm using gutsy and it doesn't appear fixed to me... Though this might
be a slightly different problem:

instead the machine locks up hard, with no cursor

I installed xubuntu 7.04 a couple of days ago and I've developed the
same problem as Tactus, dennis1200 and Mobaladje: system freezes on
switching from user a to user b and then logging out user b . It worked
fine initially but the problem seems to have occured the last couple of
times.

I have the same bug on my Acer 2003 WLMI with the 7.04 Ubuntu. I am enable to
switch between 2 users.

I can confirm that WITHOUT compiz nor beryl, it now works perfect (if

but I could open a new one if I confirmed).
Running compiz, it crashes.
