Description of problem: When attempting to switch between two users already logged in to gnome from the login screen, gdm fails so successfully join the other users desktop. The screen flashes between black and the login screen repeatedly, sometimes successfully logging in after many minutes of flashing Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 3.20.1_3.fc24 How reproducible: Log in to gnome via gdm, switch to another user, then attempt to switch back. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Log in as the first user 2. From gnome, select "switch user" from the panel 3. At GDM login screen, log in as a second user 4. Select switch user again, to return to GDM 5. Attempt to resume the session of the first user Actual results: Screen flashing between black and the GDM login screen. Expected results: Resumption of the session of the selected user. Additional info: I guess this could be a GPU/Driver issue. The issue is occurring on an Asus ZenBook UX305FA equipped with an Intel HD 5300 GPU. xorg-x11-drv-intel is version 2.99.917_24.20160712.fc24, the latest available at time of writing.
This doesn't occur 100% of the time, although way more that 50% of the time. Please try a few times if you have trouble reproducing.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 24 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 2 (two) weeks from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 24.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete.
