> This problem can be reproduced, for example if you have to users on the computer in question and one leaves is logged in but away. The other user comes and decides to switch users to log with his account. Now after the 2nd user is done he decides to log out. Unfortunately gdm never comes back up and trying to change to other VT's doesn't work.

Could you test 173.14.27-1 from unstable and confirm that it solves the
problem?

Thanks.
