I've quite the same bug, I paste a description:

it completely FREEZES my system 100% of the times (let's see if it's a common issue):

1- Reboot the system and login (don't try it with open programs as you can loose your data)
2- Go to the "power off" menu and choose "SWITCH USER"
3- Login as a different user, say "User2"
4- Open the F-Spot program on the User2 desktop
5- Close it (optional)
6- Go to the "power off" menu and choose "LOG OUT"

(My system freezes so badly that I can't even bring up a terminal with ctrl+alt+f2: I can only hard-reset it!!)
Maybe it's a problem with my ATI radeon 7000 video card switching between different resolutions... it seems not to be 100% reliable/supported, I don't know.
My system is a Feisty (upgraded from Edgy), with ubuntustudio packages installed...

I'm using "ati" opensource driver for my video card.
