Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gdm

Lucid Lynx (10.4) released today.
I suspect this may not be a problem with gdm but the infrastructure governing 
logins.  Here is the scenario:
1.  Perform a switch user from my ID
2.  Login to root (yes, I need root user access)
3.  Some maintenance activity
4.  Log out of root expecting to return to my ID via a lock screen
5.  Blank screen requiring a power off restart

Workaround:
Log off instead of switch user.  Everything works fine then.

Comment:  The new version seems to have a lot of vulnerabilities related
to signing on.
