Bug description:
Binary package hint: compiz
My computer has two users, and they are often logged onto X
simultaneously. I am one of the users and I use compiz. The problem is
that when I lock my screen and switch to other VT (using ctrl+alt+fN
or Fast User Switch Applet), then back to mine I get a white screen
instead of Gnome unlock dialog. However, the mouse pointer still
exists and even changes to cursor-like when I point the area where
password text box should be located. I am able then to enter my
password (the screen remains completely white) and to press enter.
After that I am returned to my desktop as if nothing has happened.
I'm running Gutsy. compiz version is 1:0.6.0+git20071008-0ubuntu1.1. I
have an nvidia video card with nvidia-glx-new 100.14.19+2.6.22.4-14.9
installed.
TEST CASE:
1. install hardy on a system with nvidia hardware
2. install proprietary nvidia driver
3. run compiz
4. create a additional user B
5. use the "fast-user-switching" applet to switch to that user B
6. switch back to user A
7. verify that the screen is white
1. install compiz-core from hardy-proposed
2. restart the X session
3. use the "fast-user-switching" applet to switch to user B
4. switch back to user A
9. verify that the screeen is not white
10. verify that you can not break out of the lock (compare to bug #145123) by
pressing key combinations like "alt-tab", "ctrl-alt-arrow" etc
11. Verify that no notifcation daemon message appear when the screen is
locked over the log (see comment #95)
Steps to reproduce :
1. Login to user 1
2. Use the fast user switcher applet to login to user 2
3. Logout from user 2 session
Result : You get a white screen. You have to type your password and
the white screen will disappears.
