Bug Description
Whenever I use GDM as greeter and select "Switch user" from the menu, my desktop is left with only a white blank, no lock screen, nothing.

Way to reproduce, you have to use Nvidia proprietary drivers (version 319, 331) and GDM:
1) Log in as user1
2) Switch users
at this point I usually already have a non-working desktop, but if not:
3) Log in as User2
4) Switch back to User1
It might take more than one user switching, but at least for me, eventually it will result in non-working desktops for both users.

What graphics card and driver are you using?
