Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gdm
Our home desktop computer (running ubuntu 11.04) is used mainly by two
users, my wife and me. We have the screensaver to lock the screen when
inactive.
Now, 60% of the times when we switch from one user to the other it seems
that all the running applications of one user are closed.
The procedure is like this:
* The computer is idle with both users logged in.
* The screen is blank (due to inactivity)
* I move the mouse to wake the screen.
* The login window with the user name of my wife appears.
* I click the "Switch User" button.
* The main login window appears (with both user names)
* Both usernames contain a green checkbox (marking that the indicated users are
logged in)
* I click my name and enter my password.
* The screen blanks for a few seconds and then the login window (with the two
usernames) appears again.
* The green checkbox has been removed from my name.
* I select my name and enter password, again.
* Login succeeds but ALL my applications are closed, as if I logged in for the
first time.
This is getting very annoying because I constantly lose the state of
work. Chrome also complains that it didn't shut down correctly and if I
want the restored the closed tabs.
I am running:
