Yes, I understand that, but what I think is wrong is having to enter the
password TWICE IN A ROW. Entering the password in GDM (or in
gnome-screensaver) *should* be enough. And wiggling the mouse in order
to get something other than a black screen should definitely not be
necessary.

Please, consider the whole sequence necessary to switch user:

Click system menu
Click exit (eight options pop up)
Click switch user (then wait for gdm)
Type new user
Type password
Click enter past session (Screen blanks. Nothing happens)
Wiggle mouse to get past the black screen
Type password again

It is visibly too convoluted, and the last three steps are definitely
unnecessary, don't you think?

Plus, and this is possibly another bug, the options offered after gdm's
login and password are far from clear or, at least, the translation to
Spanish is. It kind of reads like those jokes about Windows where
ambiguity, chained negations and cancelations make your choice
incredibly shaky, because it is evident that, whatever you choose,
you're doomed.

Thanks for listening!
