Package: gdm
Version: 2.20.7-4
Severity: important

When several users are connected in gnome (through the multi-user
functionality) and when one of them logs out a repeated system bip
occurs.
Then, when an other user tries to log out or switch to another user,
gdm crashes with a black screen !
The only way I found to recover is to kill the gdm process.
Since, I experienced this in Debian sid and lenny and previously in ubuntu 
8.04.1 the bug might be reported upstream.

This is very likely to be caused by a problem with the X server. What is
the model of your graphics card and the X driver you are using?

My graphics card:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: nVidia Corporation G72M [Quadro NVS
110M/GeForce Go 7300] (rev a1)
I'm currently using the nv X driver (1:2.1.10-1) but the problem also
appears with the nvidia non-free driver (173.14.09-5).
However, trying to restart the X server with CTRL+ALT+Backspace has no
effect.
Also, I recently noticed that the problem only appears when the user that had first logged-in disconnects. After that, the other user can log in through the gdm screen but then, another password window (the one which appears when the screen is locked) appears along with a system bip.


Thanks,

Denis
