Not sure this is the right applet, but it seems to be affecting a number of people. 1) Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (lucid) 2) Unknown (I assumed fast-user-switch-applet, but I can't find a version number for it, so maybe this isn't part of Lucid?) 3) Switching between 2 users repeatedly should work 4) It fails after 1-3 switches with a black/blank screen Steps to repeat: - Boot ubuntu and login to user A - Then Click on power menu (top right corner) and select: Switch from A - I get the login screen - I select user B and enter my password - I hit ok - I am able to login successfully to user B - Now, I Click on power menu (top right corner) and select: Switch from B - I select user A from the login screen and enter my credentials, then hit OK - I get a black screen Alternatively: - Boot ubuntu and login to user A - Then Click on power menu (top right corner) and select: Switch from A... Select B - I get the login screen - I hit ok - I am able to login successfully to user B - Now, I Click on power menu (top right corner) and select: Switch from B... Select A - I get a black screen In my case, Ctrl+Alt+F1-6 is black as well. The computer is NOT hung, I can type blindly and shut down fine.
