I don't use Ubuntu anymore nor do I have access to this particular
hardware anymore.

I suppose anyone using Lucid at the time has long since upgraded.

Title:
  When multiple users login, GDM doesn't come back after any of them
  logs out leading to DATA LOSS for the others

Status in “xorg-server” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: gdm

  This system is running Lucid beta 1 with latest updates (so, up to
  RC). It has one main admin user and 3 other users, all using encrypted
  home directories. I created two extra test users, one with encrypted
  home and one without. I was able to reproduce this problem with any
  combination of users.

  Steps to reproduce:
  - Login as one user (A)
  - Switch to user (B)
  - Logout

  Result: GDM / X crash - can't access console or zap X (X session kill
  shortcut Ctrl Alt Backspace is enabled).

  This results in data loss for user (A). In my use case, at home, I
  often remain logged in when I am nearby the system, and my 2 daughter
  and wife login.

  Switching back and forth from any user works, however as soon as one
  user logs out completely, it will crash the system as described above,
  requiring a restart (hard power-off, restart).
