** Description changed: To reproduce this bug (on Lucid): 1. login to a user. (We'll call it user #1) 2. Go to switch users 3. Login to another user (i.e. user #2) 4. Go to switch users 5. Try to login to user #1 6. Notice screen corruption. Try sshing in and running top. Notice Xorg processes using 99-100 % CPU. (I expected it to switched to the already running session belonging to user #1) 7. If you had gdb attached to the process, it will return to gdb prompt. Type continue and the computer logs in. (if you didn't have gdb attached, then you have to power off the computer, or run sudo init 6 to get back to normal) 8. Continuing on assuming you do have gdb atached, go to switch users again. 9. Attempt to login to user #2.(I expected it to switched to the already running session belonging to user #2) 10. Notice how you get a background like the gdm, but with no dialog (i.e. the thing that lets you choose users and enter passwords). - 11. After waiting awhile, gdb says that the program seg faulted. typing continue at the gdb prompt does nothing. + 11. After waiting awhile, gdb says that the program seg faulted. typing continue at the gdb prompt does nothing. (EDIT, I did this process again and it happened at an earlier step-- I may have found a separate bug). I tried to get a backtrace with gdb. I make a mistake at step 11; I should have tried to get a backtrace instead of continuing, so I killall'ed gdb and reattached it, and got another backtrace. I will include a picture of the screen corruption that happens at step 6, and a picture of step 11. bj...@bjorn-laptop:~$ lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu lucid (development branch) // daily image for 12-21-09 or so.
