Public bug reported: I've created another user with minor privileges 3 months ago. Today, when I logged into that session, I could only see a small white terminal window. I couldn't see the desktop at all. When I typed "exit" at the terminal, it logged me out of the session. I'm not sure what happened. The only thing that I (Administrator) did was apply Update packages last night. I have some really important files under that user session, so I don't want to delete the user. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
