Scott David Morse, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .
If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report: apport-collect -p xorg-server REPLACE-WITH-BUG-NUMBER Thank you for your understanding.

Nvidia 3DForce FX5600 card. DESCRIPTION: Switching users is not reliable; when switching users, often when returning to the first logged-on user, the computer ends up a blank screen and I must turn it fully off with the power button. Success is somewhat likely if a minimum of programs are running. I prefer a complete log-off, as it is. OTHER INFO: Because there is a lot of screen flickering generally during these operations, I have taken care to make the monitor settings identical. But this doesn't help. I use Ubuntu Lynx with Gnome desktop. I have an Nvidia 3DForce FX5600, set to 1280x960 at 60hz; displayed on a ViewSonic VG2021m. "Desktop effects" is set to lowest/normal (solves bad screen-flicker issue). The gnome-power-manager app is removed because it caused problems when logging off.
