Login as user "A". 2. From A's desktop, switch user and login as "B". 3. From B's desktop, switch user and login as "C". 4. From C's desktop switch back to B (resume session). 5. As B, log out (this returns you to "A"). 6. From A's desktop switch user to C (resume session). 7. As C, log out. After step 7, you find yourself at a blank tty9 with a blinking cursor. Explanation: users A, B and C are on tty7, tty9 and tty10 by default. When "B" logs out, tty9 becomes blank. When "C" logs out later from tty10, the screen is retuned to tty9. The logic in gdm needs to be changed. When "C" logs out, the user should be returned to tty7 in this situation (or to a new gdm screen). Please note, this is a bug in the logic of gdm, not a display/video driver issue. It is 100% reproducible on my machine at least.
