Public bug reported:
Got this on xubuntu 13.10:
When I logout and login again and start gdmflexiserver (or any other dbus call
to displaymanager), the screen turns black with the mouse cursor still visible.
The session is still running since I can terminate it by executing 'blindly'
the normal logout process.
A fishy side aspect: When i switch to ttyX via ctrl+alt+fX and login,
the username AND password is also written to .bash_history of the user
with the crippled X-session(if he left a shell open with focus). So you
might want consider this as a security issue.
