(Get the code!)
The problem step by step:
1. After booting up I can login and start up some applications (firefox, xterm, etc.)
2. I Change the user by clicking the switch off button (up-right corner on the upper panel) and select an other name
3. I find my self on a gdm login window where the selected user's password has to be typed
4. After typing the password gnome-session starts and I can use this user's desktop.
5. After launching some applications (firefox, image viewer, etc.) I choose log out from this user which should result in a return of the previous user (or to the locked screen) but a blank screen appears. With the latest updates I do not get any text massage or similar just a black screen with the pointer I can move around but I can not do anything.
6. Trying to switch to a virtual console (Ctrl+Alt+F1, F2, etc.) the pointer disappear but the screen is still black without any possibility to type login information. (Of course, I can type the authentication blindly and run for example, sudo reboot, which will reboot the machine showing it works properly but the screen is not OK.) Switching back to X (Alt+F7) the small arrow shape of the pointer can be seen again and able to move it but the screen is still totally black.
7. This is the reason I connected the machine remotely. Network connection works but the screen can not be seen. When I logged in from an other computer and killed gdm it restarted properly and the gdm login screen appeared again.
I try to test this issue further and find relating information or any error and I will report them later.
