Bug Description
Problem: Ubuntu netbook remix 10.04 is unable to fast switch users. If I click on the indicator applet for power/user switching and click on a different user, the computer tries to log out, flickers black a few times and then comes up with a password prompt for the currently logged in user. The same issue happens if I go to "Switch from USERID", it does not go to the login screen as expected to select another user, instead if flicks black and comes up with a password prompt for current user
Expected: I'm not sure if this is a unity issue or some other issue but the expected outcome would be similar to other releases/desktop environments. If you click on another user name from the indicator applet it should come up with a password prompt for that user, leaving the current user logged in as well. Same goes with if you go to switch from USERID, this should not log out the current user, only bring up the GDM screen to login to another user at the same time.
Another note is that I can log out of current user and then log in to another user, the problem seems to be related to Unity Desktop on Ubuntu 10.04 trying to login to multiple users at the same time without logging out.
Appreciate the help in advance. thanks!

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to look at all reported bugs in a timely manner.
