Bug Description

Binary package hint: gdm

On Ubuntu Natty (development branch).

What happens:
1) Fresh reboot, log in as user A.
2) Switch to user B.
3) User A is on tty8, user B on tty9 (Confirmed by switching with CTRL-ALT-F[7-9], you switch either to the desktop or the unlock dialogue.)
4) User B logs out.
5) You drop to the gdm login screen on tty8. User A isn't logged in any more.

What should happen:
User A should stay logged in. Displaying the gdm login screen makes sense, but it shouldn't kill user A's session.
