Description of problem: Under gnome (kde not tried), when a user is logged in and tries to switch to another user (whether from menu "system-log out <user>", from the applet, or when the screen is locked by screensaver), the display starts to return to the login screen but only displays a partial view of it. The keyboard doesn't respond, the mouse cursor is visible and cursor tracks but no clicks work. So it's impossible to do ctrl-alt-f2 or ctrl-alt-backspace, etc. The only alternative is to turn the machine off with the power button or login remotely (e.g., via ssh) and give the reboot command. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gdm-2.24.1-4.fc10.x86_64 Not sure if this is really the culprit. It's an fc10 system with all updates installed. How reproducible: 1. Login as a user, under the default setup with gnome. 2. Click on switch user in any menu it appears in. Steps to Reproduce: 1.Login 2. Click on switch user 3. Actual results: display and keyboard lock, mouse cursor tracks but clicks have no effect. Remote login via ssh still works. To restore any local access, the machine must be rebooted. Expected results: switch user works, and works repeatedly Additional info:

I have the same problem but my my machine architecture is x86-32 (i686), and my kernel version is 2.6.27.24-170.2.68.fc10.i686 Its fu
