There is no serious error in the logs, so I am presuming that this is
one of the many races we had to fix with pageflips.

Title:
[gm45] Blank screen when switching desktop users
Status in “xserver-xorg-video-intel” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
Binary package hint: xorg
I have two desktop users. After upgrading to the Lucid Release
Candidate, switching between these users sometimes results in the 2nd
user's desktop to always show a blank screen. When this occurs, I can
switch back to the original user using CTRL + ALT + F8/9, but the 2nd
user's screen is always blank. If I log out of the 1st user, the 2nd
user is still shown as logged in but if I try to resume their session,
I just get the blank screen. The only way I can recover from this is
to kill the X server of the 2nd user, which them causes their account
to be shown as logged out, and I can log back in with a fresh desktop.
The problem is easily repeatable just by switching back and forth
between users enough times. Please let me know if you need any
additional information and I will be happy to work through any
procedure.
