User switching is broken
User switching between different users on X is broken. It's not just broken for me, everyone I have asked has experienced the same problem: Clicking Switch user will often or sometimes lead to a hung screen. The switcher doesn't show the correct virtual terminal. Killing the switcher with ctrl+alt+backspace is one solution, the alternative is manually switching virtual consoles. Reporting this on Bugzilla doesn't help. Mentioning it here hasn't helped. The bug does exist, but everyone knows how to workaround it. Everyone who doesn't know how to workaround it doesn't use Bugzilla? Abrtd isn't catching this because it isn't a crash? What does the list recommend? -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel

I presume you are speaking of gnome-shell? it's the first time I hear of this, what's the bugzilla id?

I don't had any problem, but also don't switch much. what Fedora Release ? what X11 loads ?

I changed from nouveau to nvidia and my problem _mostly_ went away. Its only happened to me once since, so I assumed that was the problem/fix. Unfortunately, I've trained the wife on the ctrl+alt+bksp so now I don't know how often she has the issue.
