For a particular logon, when the latter two are used in a Gnome environment, 
and we do a switch user, something gets corrupted in Gnome or something does 
not get done on a return.

The result is a permenant error where any return from invoking a session via 
ctl-alt-f1 results in a black screen.

Control-alt-backspace does not clear the error. The error is actually 
permenant. One is obliged to reboot the system in order to have the logon 
screen.

If one then toggles between ctl-alt-f1 and back, for this particular logon, the 
black screen of death is there. What I can tell you is that the prompt is 
presented, but nothing is seen (blanked screen). Sound that was set to indicate 
logon prompt is available plays, but absolutely no display.

Blindly, I log to ctl-alf-f1 because the screen does not show, and I blindly 
issue the reboot.

Other logins are not impacted.
