Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gnome-session

The package's patch 11_session_dialog.patch adds a RESPONSE_SWITCH (switch 
user) option to the logout dialog. When multiple servers are defined in 
/etc/gdm/gdm.conf (or /etc/gdm/gdm.conf-custom) (I played with Xgl), a dialog 
is thrown up asking which server to start Xnest with. The problem is that the 
screen is locked immediately after running gdmflexiserver, so the dialog can 
only be accessed after unlocking the screen again.
A solution would be to postpone locking the screen after gdmflexiserver is 
finished asking questions. But I think this is not a suitable question for an 
ordinary user anyway. I'm not sure at the moment what the best solution is.

** Affects: gnome-session (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Untriaged
         Status: Unconfirmed

** Summary changed:

- "Switch user" shows gdmflexiserver dialog, but screensaver runs
+ "Switch user" shows gdmflexiserver dialog, but screensaver already started
