[Nix-dev] Can't log back in immediately in kdm and lightdm

2014-11-15 Thread Joseph Joe
Has anyone had the following problem with lightdm or kdm? When I login and then logout, I cannot log back in immediately. If I try to login immediately, the screen goes black and after a minute, the screen returns to the login page. However, I am able to login some time after I log out. Joseph
