Yes, I understand that, but what I think is wrong is having to enter the password TWICE IN A ROW. Entering the password in GDM (or in gnome-screensaver) *should* be enough. And wiggling the mouse in order to get something other than a black screen should definitely not be necessary. Please, consider the whole sequence necessary to switch user: Click system menu Click exit (eight options pop up) Click switch user (then wait for gdm) Type new user Type password Click enter past session (Screen blanks. Nothing happens) Wiggle mouse to get past the black screen Type password again It is visibly too convoluted, and the last three steps are definitely unnecessary, don't you think? Plus, and this is possibly another bug, the options offered after gdm's login and password are far from clear or, at least, the translation to Spanish is. It kind of reads like those jokes about Windows where ambiguity, chained negations and cancelations make your choice incredibly shaky, because it is evident that, whatever you choose, you're doomed.
