Description of problem: After screen lock, attempting to login as another user in the unlock screen seems to result in creating another concurrent gnome session above the current session. This almost locks up the desktop itself, making the desktop completely unusable. There is another bug in a similar context worth mentioning: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=924378 Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Most up-to-date components as of 08-28-2013 gdm-3.8.4-2.fc19.x86_64 gnome-shell-3.8.4-2.fc19.x86_64 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Login as a user that uses a password. 2. Lock the screen. (e.g., click 'lock' from the upper right dropdown menu.) 3. Swipe the screen to bring up the login dialogue. 4. Click 'login as another user.' 5. Now login again. Actual results: Desktop is almost locked up. One can see running applications, but they don't accept keyboard input. For example, pressing super key does nothing; one cannot type commands in a terminal. Strangely, notification shows 'turned off.' If you try to lock the screen again, it will make the desktop completely locked. Expected results: Additional info:
Addition: it gave me the impression that it creates another gnome seesion on top of the existing one, but it may not be the case.
