Dear all. I have the same problem after upgrading from 13.04. Only now I use ubuntu 13.10 GNOME running GDM.
[Although I had the same problem when I tried unity with lightdm - History: I was so frustrated I tried Unity (32 & 64 bit) and now Gnome all with the same results.] Ubuntu Gnome 13.10 32-bit. NVIDIA Corporation GT218M (NVS 3100M/PCIe/SSE2) 3.8.0-34-generic GDM 3.8.4 I switch user. I have the new user session. I then alt-ctl-f7. I then have a frozen background-artwork-only graphic screen for the 1st user session. No alt-ctl-f1,2,3,4,5,6,7 and so on. I have not yet tested if I am able to ssh into the machine after it hangs. Please advise of any additional info or tasks needed. I am currently away on leave but shall be able to attend to instructions from you re this matter from 2nd last week Jan'14 onward. This really affects me allot as I have seperate business and home user id's and switched allot in 13.04.
