Bug Description
Split out from https:/
I'm using the nvidia 525-server drivers.
When I create a new user, then attempt to "switch to" that user from another user's GNOME session, the new session immediately aborts and returns me to the original user's session.

This looks exactly like I would expect:
1. Xorg fails to start in the same way as bug 2015386:
Apr 13 23:35:23 nvidia-
2. Wayland fails to start because the server driver doesn't support it:
Apr 13 23:35:23 nvidia-
So this is useful information. It shows:
1. There is a common issue between bug 2015386 and bug 2016193 where systemd can't start Xorg. It's not even trying so this seems like a systemd/environment issue.
2. The crashes in bug 2016193 are Wayland-specific (using NVIDIA desktop drivers). I suspect the customer isn't affected by that.
