I'm using Gutsy and experience the exact same symptoms.  Although
sometimes I get the black screen described above, other times I'll get a
plain orange background but the symptoms are identical which ever color
comes up.  Keyboard input is not recognized and I have to use a hard
reset to get my desktop back.  For me this behavior can be duplicated
reliably.

- Use "Logout" to end user session.

- Have one of the other users login...works fine for them.

- Have user select "logout" to end session.

- Log back in on my account.  The login commands are accepted and the
greeting sound plays but the desktop will not appear.  Mouse cursor is
visible but no mouse clicks or keyboard commands are recognized.

As a work around we've started using Switch User instead of Logout but
it's a shame to need to do that.  I'm not running the proprietary
drivers on this machine.  I am on another box but haven't tried to
duplicate the problem.  Both machines are AMD's (one 2600+, one 2800+).
