[Virtual-pkg-base-maintainers] Bug#508791: base: multiuser functionality problem in gdm, desktop, etc

[Marek Poks]

Package: base
Severity: normal

loged into gnome. selecting log out/switch user. selecting another user.
trying to login on it. white screen appears with mouse cursor only.
the only way to fix it is to kill gdm and start it again.

same problem appears when trying to run two instances of display manager
(one on F7 key and one on F8). sometimes both are run, but when switching
from one to another very often one of then becomes a white screen.

having testing debian fully updated some about 10.12.2008
