Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-session
laptop: DELL LATITUDE
ID: Ubuntu 6.10 edgy
problem: when I log out and use the "switch user" button, the person who logs
in gets his normal GUI but with a mouse cursor that stays transfixed. It can
nevertheless be forced to move with the little mauve scroll wheel in the middle
of my keyboard, but is unable to click anything. When I switch back to my own
session, using ctr+alt+F7, I first get the screensaver, then after
mouseclicking, password, everything is normal for my session. Then I tried to
switch users with the terminal using "gdmflexiserver"command to no avail. I got
the following comment on the terminal screen: "(gnome-screensaver-command:464)
gnome-screensaver-WARNING: unknown option --throttle". Using the command, gets
me my partners GUI but with the same problem: transfixed cursor. Tried several
times, and one time a tab appeared on my session, suggesting I' d use virtual
console or screen 10. So I tried ctr+alt+F10 and there was my partners session,
completely ok. But thats a lot of work: first she has to type in name&passwd,
then I have to use ctr+alt+F7 and then, after my session reappears, ctr+alt+F10
so she can finally use the laptop. This is, of course, to silly. How to fix
this? (excuse my English, I am Flemish).
