When I switch from one user to another I get the black screen. Logging
in remotely I see that what I presume is a new gdm process consumes
almost all CPU:

root      5732 99.6  0.5  15312  6160 tty9     RLs+ 15:33   9:40
/usr/bin/X :20 -br -audit 0 -auth /var/lib/gdm/:20.Xauth -nolisten tcp
vt9

It is no problem otherwise to work on the box from a ssh session. But
when I try to kill the above process with "kill -9" the box hangs
completely, including the ssh session. Any other specific information
you want from the ssh session while in "hang state"?
