after "switch user", session is lost

[Juan Pablo Salazar Bertín]

Binary package hint: gnome-screensaver

I have only one user.
I lock my session (using Ctrl+Alt+L or the "Lock Screen" panel button), and press "Switch User". GDM is shown. I try to go back to my session by entering my username and password. After something that looks like gnome trying to start, GDM is presented again, asking for a username and password. At this point I think my previous session is lost. If I enter my user/pass again, a new session is started.

When using System -> Quit -> Switch User, resuming a session is not a problem.

Thank you for your bug. That works fine gutsy for me, could you try again witht he current version to see if you still get the issue? Did you change AlwaysLoginCurrentSession in your gdm configuration?

I did a fresh tribe 4 install, then updated.
I'm still getting this issue.
I haven't changed my gdm configuration.

This bug report dates to the time when Gutsy was in Alpha stages. Does this issue persist in the stable release of Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon?

Thanks again for reporting this bug

This issue is not present anymore in my up-to-date final gutsy.
