I have just tried it with Ubuntu 10.10 and it does not happen. I also tried it with Ubuntu 10.04 2.6.32-25 and it did not happen there either.
I am happy to do any other trials.

If I login, play cards, AisleRiot Solitaire, for two or three games and then click the power icon, top RH corner, and click on one of the other usernames then the current session "closes" and a new session starts for the new user. If I go through the procedure again then that user session "closes" and a new session starts for the new user, can be user 1 or 3. However, if I start, * switch to another user * and then try to "Switch from xyz" the current session "closes", the login screen is displayed and I am invited to login. If I then click on the original user and input the password the screen goes black, a white arrow appears and it sits there for up to three hours. The white arrow follows mouse movements. I have to use the computer restart button to restart. * means play cards as in opening paragraph. This is repeatable and happened to me on Mon 19th April and Tue 20th April.
