I just wanted to add that at home, counting laptops, I have six Ubuntu machines. Laptops, desktops, etc. Dells, nonames, Fujitsu and so on. A heterogeneous environment in terms of hardware. Most run Intrepid.

And, I am sad to add, fast user switching works very poorly on all of them. It is always one thing or another, that is screwed up, sharing of sound, switching, etc. It is also screwed up in a variety of ways, not just one.

I think that user switching is just something that is not properly tested because various developers sit in front of their accounts all day long and do not need to switch users. But I have a family at home and three people use these computers (me, my spouse and our 7 year old). And it is very frustrating to deal with fast user switching, especially for the 7 year old. It really is a big turn off.

This message is partly to vent, and partly to suggest that it is an area that needs a lot of testing.
